Motorcar

N 50

Introduced in 1906. Discontinued in 1917. A beautiful back design that shows a pair of intense goggled racers in an early open-topped automobile (see a detail, below). This was long before roll bars or even helmets were standard equipment. Motorcar is not common, but nice examples can be found.

Below is an early advertising piece featuring a similar scene of fast driving.
