Old Limelight Star Photos
These came out of an old family
picture book. They all appear to be on real photo type paper.
My quick notes about these photos put these as a small set of
surviving photos from a family member that worked as a photographer
back in this time. Further questions? Please ask!

Rusty Payne - Heavy weight boxer by the alias Rudy from
San Diego won 41 (26 ko's) - lost 24 - drawn 1 - total 67 fights
through years 1943-48 The top 8x10 photo is signed as best I can
tell; To Frankie from Rusty Payne. The 5x7's I'm told are
private photos, each have dates stamped and one has what I'm
guessing is the photographer's mark "Darlene's". The big one
has "Journal Reference Department" stamped next to name on the back
as you can see in the photos. |
