1931 professional wrestling w/ Jim "Golden Greek" Londos ...
Item # 726197
February 19, 1931
THE NEW YORK TIMES, Feb. 19, 1931
* Early Jim Londos "The Golden Greek"
* Early professional wrestling match
* vs. George Zaharias at Chicago Coliseum
Page 26 has a discrete and brief report with tiny heading: "Londos Beats Zaharias on Mat" (see image)
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete with all 48 pages, a little irregular along the spine, nice condition.
background: Capture a stunning piece of professional wrestling’s "Golden Age" with this rare, original February 19, 1931, newspaper, documenting the historic showdown where the legendary "Golden Greek" Jim Londos successfully defended his title against the powerhouse George Zaharias. This isn't just a clipping; it’s a time capsule from the high-stakes world of the 1930s "Wrestling Trust," headlined by an "All-Greek" battle for the ages at the Chicago Coliseum.
