About This Item

[Temperance, Michigan], (1954). Single sheet broadside event poster. Approximately 17" x 11" spirit-duplicated to recto only. Address label and postage marks to verso. Storage folds and small staple punctures from original mailing. Some moderate handling and age wear alogn with a small section of loss from lower left corner. Overall about good only.

An original event poster heralding a "Field Meet" staged by the Blackhawk Motorcycle Club in Bedford Township, Michigan, immediately north of the Ohio border and just east of old U.S. Highway 23 / Lewis Ave. (as illustrated by a neatly drawn map at lower right).

The poster depicts a rider losing control of a bike in a hill climb above the image of a trophy and the afore-mentioned map. A 2013 article on the Club in the Toledo Blade noted the AMA-sanctioned Club formed in 1943 and maintains a clubhouse near the site of this field meet in Temperance.

A graphically appealling, llikely unique survivor from the postwar boom in motorcycle club culture in the Midwest.
