🥊 AN EXTRAORDINARY PIECE OF BOXING HISTORY — FREMONT PLACE, LOS ANGELES

One of the most historically important pieces in our upcoming Fremont Place estate sale is this circa 1950s Premier canvas athletic training dummy bearing 19 identified signatures representing several generations of American boxing history.

The names are extraordinary:

Joe Louis • Rocky Marciano • Jack Dempsey • James J. Braddock • Jersey Joe Walcott • Max Baer • Jess Willard • Ezzard Charles • Jake LaMotta • Tony Zale • Henry Armstrong • Gene Fullmer • Archie Moore • Willie Pep • Sandy Saddler • Luis Firpo • Harold Johnson • Buddy Baer • Ruby Goldstein

But the story behind the signatures may be just as remarkable.

The dummy belonged to Clinton “Klincher” Davison, himself a champion boxer, who personally collected these autographs over many years. This was not simply an autograph collection assembled by a boxing fan. Among the men whose signatures appear on the canvas are Archie Moore and Harold Johnson — two fighters Davison personally faced in highly followed championship bouts.

Davison later became involved in matchmaking and the National Veteran Boxers Association in Philadelphia.

The present owner knew Davison personally from his youth as a young Philadelphia boxer. Davison took him under his wing, and what began through boxing developed into a close friendship and mentorship that continued for the remainder of Davison’s life.

Following Davison’s death, his widow personally insisted that this and other boxing memorabilia from her husband’s collection be given to the young boxer he had mentored. It has remained in that private collection ever since.

The original PREMIER / RIVER VALE, N.J. manufacturer’s label remains on the heavy canvas training dummy.

More than a collection of famous autographs, this is an extraordinary artifact with a direct connection to the men and the world of championship boxing from which it came.

Sir Thomas Lawrence R.A. Portrait — Exclusive Los Angeles Estate Sale

An exceptional large-scale oil portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence (British, 1769–1830) will be offered during our upcoming private, by-appointment estate sale beginning Wednesday, September 16.

Portrait of a Woman in a Lace Morning Cap, oil on canvas, approximately 51 × 41 inches framed, displays Lawrence’s characteristic contrast between carefully modeled flesh and remarkably free, rapid handling of lace, costume and reflected light.

Recent close examination also revealed a faint painted “TL” inscription at the lower left, visible under strong directional light. The painting retains its aged keyed stretcher with historic inventory markings, an old lining, extensive age-related craquelure and an old identification plaque mounted to the frame reading “SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE, R.A. 1769–1830.”

This painting comes from a prominent private Los Angeles estate collection and is one of a number of significant works of art and exceptional objects being offered.

This is not an open-house estate sale. Attendance is strictly by appointment, with a limited number of guests admitted at one time.

Appointments are now being scheduled for September 16 and the following sale days. Serious buyers may contact Melrose Treasures Estate Sales Los Angeles to reserve an appointment.
