Vintage Harry Lester and His Hayseeds Black and White Photo Card Goofus Cicero Pappy Jud Guppy Wheezy Kid Vaudeville Comedy Band signed in Ball point pen
Original vintage black and white photographic card featuring Harry Lester and His Hayseeds, a well known American Hill Billy vaudeville and comedy music group active during the early to mid 20th century.
The image shows the full ensemble in a staged performance scene with theatrical costumes and instruments including accordion and fiddle, capturing the group’s humorous hillbilly and country style act that made them popular in vaudeville, radio, and early film appearances.
Printed caption at the bottom reads:
Harry Lester and His Hayseeds
Goofus, Cicero, Pappy, Jud, Guppy, Wheezy, and Kid
The card appears to be an original period piece rather than a modern reproduction. It has a photographic finish mounted on a thin card stock backing.
There is visible age wear consistent with vintage ephemera, including light edge wear, surface handling marks, and some handwritten pen markings on the right margin. Corners show minor wear. Overall condition is good for its age and displays well.
