    I found this today at a local thrift store - it looks like it was a gift from a T. COLLINI CO. LTD. - but googling that & / or the Rocky Marciano poster draws a blank?

    Any idea on age of this - it looks like it has age to it, right?
    Rarity/value?

    I also found a old print that looks like it could be a copy of a copy of a senator that has written on it "Father of boxing law"?

    These must have been donated together?

    T. Collini Co. Ltd. was a Canadian construction company. I can find a reference to it being around in 1964, 1969 and 1977. Marciano died in 1969 so may date to then. That would be consistent with the poster's font.

    It looks like all 49 of Marciano's wins as a pro are depicted, and if so you know for certain it was produced after 1955.

    The guy pictured in the other print is Jimmy Walker, "Beau James," better known as the hugely popular, bon vivant, and mostly corrupt mayor of New York in the late '20s. In his previous role as New York State senator, he was responsible for legislation that legalized boxing in the state, which earned him enshrinement in the Boxing Hall of Fame.
