1939 Pennsylvania Railroad Calendar Original -- "Leaders of the Fleet of Modernization"  (RI)
This is an original 1939 PRR wall calendar featuring a reproduction of a Grif Teller painting titled "Leaders of the Fleet of Modernization" and measuring approx. 29" x 28 5/8" and in excellent overall condition scoring a 9+ on a scale of 1 - 10. This calendar has survived 68+ years thus far! It is a scene consisting of an S1 streamlined locomotive pulling one Fleet of Modernization while being passed in the opposite direction by another. It has a complete and well preserved calendar pad, and the broadside is attached and in pristine condition. The artwork print area is in really excellent condition with no perceptible blemishes. The tuscan red border is virtually intact with no outstanding perceptible creases or blemishes. The gold border has only some minor creases and chafing in the margins. All of these imperfections are considered minor and will be barely perceptible, especially after professional framing and hanging over your mantle or on a wall in your den or train room. This particular calendar is in very great demand and hard to find in this condition!
NOTE: Glare in photo image of calendar caused by protective cellophane covering.
