Orig 1924 Miss America Winner Pageant Swimsuit Contest Parade Float Photo Set

INVREF#CL3


Original 1924 Miss America Winner Pageant Swimsuit Contest Parade Float Photo Set of 3 - one of a kind gently removed from a photo album and held in my personal collection for decades. The original photos also have their hand written notes show the eventual winner (Miss Philadelphia) on her Liberty Bell parade float. All together, you will receive 3 photos with notations ranging from 2"-4". See pics for details. It is RARE to see early Miss America material come to the secondary market so I don't suspect them to last very long here on eBay! 


1924

Ruth Malcomson

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania


At seventeen, after being coaxed into the competition, Ruth Malcomson won a Silver Sea Shell as the winner of the amateur division in the 1923 Bather's Revue. A year later in 1924 she returned as "Miss Philadelphia" in the Inter-City contest for the Miss America title and to face-off against the largest field in Miss America History -- 84 representatives.
