A rare piece of ephemera for the hardcore racing fan. The program is intact, and in good condition. The original owner did bet on War Admiral as circled on the program. Payment by cash in a FTF transaction or USPS money order if mailed. $950.00. This item is cross-posted.

You need a letter to confirm it as a special order.

The last of the pinned and recessed revolvers.

Some older wooden stocks tend to shrink from lack of moisture in the wood. Replenishing it with a wood treatment has worked for me. Be careful to not overdo it. I have actually used Ballistol. I last used it on the target stocks of a Colt 357 from 1954. The slight wiggle went away, it did not...
