Lot 641		Coca-Cola: Rare 1901 Hilda Clark Calendar in Choice, Near-To-Mint Condition, January-December Pad, Stunning Colors. Museum quality and exceptionally rare original 1901 Coca-Cola calendar. The calendar features Hilda Clark, an immensely popular music hall songstress and actress. In 1895 she became the first woman to be featured on a tin Coca-Cola tray with her career as a model exploding. Clark remained the face of Coca-Cola until February 1903 when she married railroad baron, Frederick Stanton Flower. The calendar is a marvel of early 20th Century, German printing measuring 7 3/8"x 13". It has blind embossed flowers in deep saturated colors with gold gilt trim and highlights throughout. The note on her desk reads The Coca-Cola Co. Atlanta Ga. Branches Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Dallas Condition: we note a tiny ding in her hair that is not noticeable unless calendar held sideways to light and there is a contusion with no paper loss at the border edge under 5¢. Otherwise, that this calendar is 122 years is nothing short of a miracle. Calendar Pad: Calendar is intact and original from January 1901-December 1901. However the calendar was shipped to cafes and shops in Fall of 1900. So the calendar pad did begin with the September-December 1900 sheet even with the calendar having 1901 printed right of the roses in the vase. This calendar has sold for as high as $9500 and remains a treasure for every level of Coca-Cola collector. This is an exceptional example.
