Most unusual oversize IPS heavy stock 16" X 20" St. Charles IL 1960 October 14. Near full-length side-by-side shot depicting Gilbert and Goelz in wrestling trunks against a white background each taking off their coat as if entering the ring.

Burnell / Best of Luck and of everything / Your friend always / Billy Goelz / Fox Lake wrestler / Oct. 14 1960 / St. Charles Livestock / Center / St. Charles Ill." This handsome and most unusual item was likely created for some cryptic promotional purpose but it bears no photographer's credit or other identifications recto or verso.

GILBERT Johnny ? 1990 and WILLIAMS Al ? ?
Photograph Signed
Gilbert was a popular Midwest wrestling champion of the '50s and '60s holder of many titles half of a celebrated tag team with Billy Goelz. Williams was a fixture on early national wrestling telecasts out of Marigold Garden with tag team partner Ruby Kay; narrowly missed being part of the bloodiest wreck in wrestling history: on March 3 1945 a flight from England to Paris carrying six out of seven pro wrestlers on a USO tour to entertain Allied troops crashed killing all aboard; Williams missed this flight and later that month wrestled at a Fred Kohler wrestling program in Chicago to raise funds for his colleagues' widows and children. PS 5" X 3�" n.p. Chicago IL n.y. July 1960. Very good. Minor yellowish tape stain at each corner not terribly disfiguring and well away from signatures. Original black-and-white snapshot likely one of a kind showing Williams and Goelz at a table signing autographs -- Williams signs across the tabletop boldly in red fineline marker. Gilbert stands behind them raising a fist in mock threat -- he too signs boldly in red fineline across his white t-shirt. unknown

Gilbert was a popular Midwest wrestling champion of the '50s and '60s holder of many titles half of a celebrated tag team with Billy Goelz. Christy was another popular wrestling draw in the '50s. PS 5" X 3�" n.p. Chicago IL n.y. July 1960. Very good. Minor yellowish tape stain at each corner not terribly disfiguring and well away from signatures. Original black-and-white snapshot likely one of a kind showing what appears to be an arena dressing room probably Chicago's Amphitheatre with Gilbert and a smiling Christy looking a tad s-faced walking through a doorway Gilbert apparently supporting Christy who has his left arm about Gilbert's shoulders. At upper right in red fineline marker Gilbert inscribes it "Who's drunk / Johnny Gilbert." Beneath this also in red fineline Christy adds "or / Bill / Christy." A unique image of two stars hamming it up for a fan from the Golden Age of Wrestling. unknown
