GAR WOOD’S MISS AMERICA X U-10: I picked up this desktop plaque recently of the world famous Miss America X-10 race boat …I’ve been collecting 35 years and never seen one of these before. There were ten Miss America boats made and raced by Gar Wood, the king of powerboat racing from 1920-1933…This X U-10 was the last one and won the Harmsworth trophy twice in 1932 and 1933. It’s a remarkable piece well modeled, i.e. good sculpture work…It’s possible multiples were produced but I lean towards it’s a one off. I fine toothed it with a flashlight and magnifying glass and zero markings…no maker…no sculptor…I collect sports display antiques from 1880- 1940 of all sports from billiards to mountaineering…and sculpture is one of my hot buttons so this was a great find for me. It’s the only powerboat sculpture I own besides trophies.
