A collection of 10 magnificent early auto-racing pennants varying in size from a miniature 16.5" to a hulking 36.5". The set hails from the nascent stages of auto racing in America, when the U.S. began to eschew their European counterparts, who mostly held their events on public roads, in favor of devoted speedways. The most famous of all such venues, the Indianapolis Speedway, appears five times in the set: 1) Mini green featuring an image of the speedway. 2) 1938 Auto Races, International Speedway. 3) Speed Classic with a list of past winners. 4) Motor Speedway with a car and grandstands. 5) Souvenir of Indianapolis. The eclectic set also includes: 6) Astor Cup Race. 7) Spokane. 8) 1914 Boston Auto Show. 9) Santa Monica Road Race.  10) 1928 Watkins Glen. The cornucopia of pennants averages overall EX.
