Three vintage glossy photos, two 8 x 10 and one 6 x 8, each signed and inscribed in fountain pen to boxer Packey O’Gatty. On January 12, 1928, in Yokohama, Japan, with one punch, Packey O'Gatty KO'd Japanese Jiu-Jitsu expert Shimakado in four seconds. Included is a 5.75 x 3.75 Christmas card from O’Gatty mentioning this and other facts and a copy of a 1942 letter from former World Heavyweight Champion Gene Tunney telling O’Gatty that “the best defense against it [Ju-Jitsu] is a good stiff sock on the jaw!” In very good condition, with scattered creases, surface marks, and edge tears to photos.
