You might be right Chuck. I thought it might be a LC Smith.

Good eye, Chuck. Looks like a Grade 7 Knick.

Frances King also appears in the third photo, fourth from the right.

I did a little more digging. She hailed from Atlanta and was an active shooter at least back into the forties. 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
