The lady third from the left is Frances King in about 1960. She shot a Knick and won the women's GA Champion of Champions race in '62. I'm pretty certain hers is a Grade 4.

I had previously thought that the King trophy given to the Grand American High All Around woman was a revolving trophy, this based on its generous size, about 18-20" in height. But in the past week or so of researching I have seen the trophy in several forms, so it must have been individually crafted each year. I found one picture of her with the ubiquitous Model 12, but all others show her with the more familiar Ithaca |
