Jack Crawford Signed Cabinet Card with Captain Jack Crawford and Gertie Granville Cabinet Card. Author: Houseworth, Thomas & Co Title: Capt. Jack Crawford Signed Cabinet Card with Captain Jack Crawford and Gertie Granville Cabinet Card Publication: San Francisco: Houseworth & Co. Jack Crawford Signed Cabinet Card with Captain Jack Crawford and Gertie Granville Cabinet Card, Houseworth & Co. 2 cabinet cards both from the studios of Thomas Houseworth with blind embossed Houseworth stamps in lower right and printed mounts with Houseworth backstamps. Likely taken at the same session as Crawford’s outfit appears to be the same. The Crawford card is toned and mildly soiled, Apparent writing erased at top of photo mostly in margin. Possibly attempt of Crawford to sign the card. He does sign the card at bottom of photo and on mount, “JW Crawford “Capt. Jack and then again on verso, Yours Truly J. Card is creased two inches from bottom–more noticeable on verso. Card with Crawford and Granville is very clean with very light soiling on front and slightly heavier soiling on verso. His exploits during the Indian Wars created a persona that Crawford exploited throughout his life and was one of the most popular “western performers” in the late 19th century. Gertie Granville began performing with Barnum’s circus in 1870 moving on to Madame Rentz’s Female Minstrel show. Gertie also had a solo cabinet card printed from this same sitting at Houseworth Gallery. Granville and Crawford likely met on the “Wild West” circuit. Granville died in 1888. We date these cards to circa 1880. Thomas Houseworth was born in New York City and first partnered in San Francisco with George S. He was an early publisher and retailer of stereo and landscape scenes of California and Nevada. He had his studio at No. Signed Captain Jack Crawford cards are uncommon on the market.

Offered here is a. VERY NICE, NEVER SEEN ANOTHER. Real photo boxing postcard of. JACK “ONE ROUND” HOGAN. Name: One Round Hogan Alias: Jack Hogan Birth Name: George F. Hogan Born: 1889-00-00 Died: 1959-00-00 (Age:70) Hometown: San Francisco, California, USA. Fought: 1909 – 1926. One Round Hogan, also known as “Jack Hogan, ” was a popular San Francisco area lightweight boxer during the city’s four-round era of the early 1910s. At this time San Francisco preferred four-rounders, as opposed to the ten-rounders staged in the Los Angeles area. This is to be distinguished from California’s state-wide Four-Round Era that started in late 1914. He also had some success on the East Coast and even “won the hearts” of British fans. He was credited with scoring 18 consecutive first round knockouts for a number of years. However, this was never confirmed, and Young Otto became the official record holder for most consecutive first-round knockouts until that record was broken in 2006 by Edwin Valero. Hogan was later a referee in California. WE TRADE MEMORABILIA FOR BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL CARDS. Champions of the Ring.
