SPEED KINGS Racing to the Finish, Early 1900s Snapshot with Best Hand written Caption vocabulary builder flash cards made as iron worker's whimsies

made as iron worker's whimsies I believe

this one likely dates to the late 19th century

I only just learned that fans shaped like this are called cockade fans

Dated 1928 I believe and in excellent condition

an excellent one to live with

SPEED KINGS Racing to the Finish, Early 1900s Snapshot with Best Hand written Caption vocabulary builder flash cards made as iron worker's whimsiesNot 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.
