Description: Ripley's Believe It or Not! "The Longest Wrestling Match" Ink Blotter Advertisement This piece of ephemera is an old ink blotter, used to advertise The Wise Insurance Agency, Inc. of Norton, Virginia, USA. Note the absence of a zip code or need for street address, as well as the three-digit phone number. If you are wondering how old this is, the copyright date for the Ripley's Believe It or Not! image is 1949. The wrestling match illustrated depicts England's Alf Davey and John Shea in their record-setting 11 1/2 hour bout, which took place in Michigan in 1908. A celebration of masculinity and athletic prowess, the image is a reminder of the strength and sheer endurance needed to take on such a challenge. Wonderful piece of Americana. Outstanding condition for its age. Crisp edges. Fantastic colour. A great addition to any ephemera or Americana collection. Also a great purchase for professional wrestling fans, sports historians and aficionados of Ripley's Believe It or Not!
