Some new photos I've recently purchased...

1933 photo of a kid showing off his scale model he built of the #1 RED LION SPECIAL, driven by Ernie "the Blonde Terror" Triplett. Unfortunately it was stored with photos that had artcles glued on the backs of most of them (newspaper photo archives). It has some discoloration on image.

These three shots of Kelly Petillo in Gilmore cars, arrived the other day....



The bottom two are shots taken at the 1935 Indy 500, before and after the race. I posted another photo I have of him from the 1935 Indy on an earlier page.

Unfortunately, sometimes these old newspaper photos are painted over/marked up/cropped for layouts/article images.

In the top photo, he is holding his lucky pair of baby shoes he ties to the steering wheel. The shoes are painted over though. This photo was used and edited a couple times. Both articles are glued on back of photo.



Anybody know of a way to SAFELY remove the paint from old photos, without harming them?

Also purchased this Gilmore ad about the race...

C'mon Gilmore collectors... let's strike up some conversation here.

The "big guys" that I figured might post something here or at least give a hello, haven't even bothered.
