    This is Motocross
    at its very historic beginnings
    on the West Coast. Motorcycle hill climbing is also still done all over the world.
    You can't get much earlier in the
    world of modern off-track competitions than this!
    Condition:
    Overall good, displays very well, and will look great
    framed
    as the hallmark of your collection.  (Please see photos)
    Front:
    The blue ink's color is still very vibrant, and although there are some slight creases and small areas of discoloration, they do not distract from it's attractiveness. It shows VERY well.
    Back:
    Here's where it gets interesting.....The child that attended this event used the back side to pencil a cartoon mocking a military sunrise bugle player.  Very interesting piece of folk art that coincides with the time period of War as a way of life in the 1940's.  The sketch does not bleed thru the front graphic as it was done in pencil, nor does it effect the front in any way.
    Don't let this one get by you. Add it to your collection today!
