Coca-Cola Rare 1907 "Girl With Green Dress" Calendar, Outstanding Condition. The first known Coca-Cola calendar was issued by the company in 1891 but by the first decade of the 20th Century the company copyrighted stunning images of popular, beautiful models and entertainers and enlisted some of the finest stone lithography printers in the nation. Antique calendars are some of the most prized treasures by collectors due to how rare most are and certainly how beautiful. From 1907, "Girl With Green Dress," a somewhat more risqué artwork also referenced as the "Relieves Fatigue" calendar, as seen in the slogan. Another beautiful example of a very early calendar in excellent condition. We note only a corner chip to top right, slight rounding to top left corner and very minor edge wear, otherwise as bold and vivid as any collector could hope for. Pad begins with July and pages look to be in excellent condition. 14 x 7" and beautifully framed in gilt wood to 19½ x 12". Estimated Value $2,000 - UP
From The Private Collection of James Harrison Ring. Schmidt Museum of Coca-Cola Memorabilia.
