This pair of gloves manufactured by Post were discovered in the attic of Cassius Clay trainer Joe Martin. Brown leather gloves show modest use and have "Columbia Gym" stamped inside. They are the proper size for sparring and have the initials "C.C." (Cassius Clay) on the inside in vintage pen. Gloves were used during the time that Joe Martin was his trainer at the Columbia Gym. There is a notarized letter from Joe Martin's daughter Jole Martin as well as a letter of opinion from Craig Hamilton.
