Condición: Very Good. Archive of over 50 snapshot photographs of racecars and drivers, featuring Frankie Dickerson, a prominent midget car racer, and Harold Leep, Hall of Fame sprint car racer. Both notorious Hall of Fame regulars throughout Kansas. Very Good Plus overall.

Photos range from 2.75 x 2.75 inches to 8 x 10 inches, most being smaller, many Dickerson photos with white borders, Leep photos glossy. Tape corners, corner creases, glue ghosts on some versos.

Some are rubber-stamped by Ward, a rep at National Speed Sport News agency, and Schuelke, including images of other racers, like Ralph Foster, Woodie Spencer, Tex West. A handful of scrapbook-style newspaper clippings highlighting his career complement the photos.…
