These are original boxing scrapbook pages featuring two fights involving
Frankie Nelson of Buffalo NY, known as the "Polish Champion."
One page double-sided. Very interesting newspaper content of the day. These two pages were purchased
amongst many other newspaper items. Unfortunately these are the only pages
we have concerning Frankie Nelson.
As far as we could ascertain from the clips (and online), these are the fights included:
April 3, 1916 -- Frankie Nelson vs Rocky Kansas - the venue was the Broadway Auditorium, Buffalo.
Kansas was the winner
March 16, 1916 -- Frankie Nelson vs Frankie Russell -- the venue was the Garden Theatre, Buffalo.
Nelson was the winner
The pages are in VG condition considering the age - there are some tears in the scrapbook paper but this
does not affect the boxing content. Measuring 18 x 11.
