Max Baer boxing match at Madison Square Garden, 24 September 1935 This photo was taken at her Detroit home the night before the big fight. (I think when he began making significant money boxing he moved his mother from Alabama to Michigan). With original mimeographed N. E. A. Press caption tipped to verso. Only one like it listed on ebay as of 6 March 2024 What appears to be a thin vertical line all up & down the photo (going thru Mrs. Brooks hand held to wall) is actually added by my scanner. {See the 2nd scan to see thin white vertical line in a different place ;-} There are a few very modest crinkles (NONE breaking the emulsion) and a few nearly invisible thumb prints, else VERY GOOD with nice contrast._____________________________________________________ (the fine print ...
