1920 Portrait photograph of former boxing champion Oscar "Battling" Nelson, as it was announced he was suing his siblings for his property that worth $150,000 at the time. Basically Nelson had his father handle all his financed for him and when he died in 1920, some siblings came in and claimed it. Nelson was suing to get back his stuff! A cool image from just after he retired from the ring and with exceptional clarity and quality. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a long and detailed paper caption as well, the photo presents in high grade.
