Wonderful, early cardboard advertising sign for “The Peerless Eight” automobile, featuring powerful hand-colored racing image (Walker Litho Co., Boston). Peerless was a Cleveland, OH maker (1900-1931) known for building very high-quality, precision luxury automobiles and hired race car driver Barney Oldfield, who went on to set world speed records driving its “Green Dragon” race car. Piece is attractive and displays nicely, w/ some none-offensive toning and light soiling, w/ 1.25″ edge tear and some non-offensive light water staining at middle right side edge (C. 7.5/+). Nicely framed and matted. Note: we sold this piece about ten years ago. The buyer reframed it w/ tighter matting and different frame- we have added our old image to web site, which shows more of actual image which is being hidden by the new matting.
