SPEED KINGS Racing to the Finish, Early 1900s Snapshot with Best Hand written Caption vocabulary builder flash cards I only just learned thatNot 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.
