SPEED KINGS Racing to the Finish, Early 1900s Snapshot with Best Hand written Caption serpent which one can just feelNot speed queens, SPEED KINGS! In all caps, excellent lettering, just right. And no small feat to be a speed king while wearing a skirt or a dress. Love them, and the great crowd of spectators lined up to cheer them on. Wonderful. 5 3 16" x 4". Earlyish 20th c. Good condition, with general wear, some bumping and surface abrasion at a couple far corners.
