1948 Pennsylvania Railroad Calendar Original --
"Progressive Power"
(RI)
This is an original 1948 PRR
wall calendar featuring a reproduction of a Grif Teller painting titled "Progressive
Power" and measuring approx.
29" x 28 5/8" and in good overall condition scoring a 7-
on a
scale of 1 -
10. This calendar has survived 54+ years thus far! It has only one well
preserved calendar pad sheet (NOV - DEC - JAN), and the original broadside is missing (a copy of an
original 1948 PRR calendar broadside will be provided). The artwork print area is in
excellent condition with no noticeably perceptible imperfections. The tuscan red border is virtually
intact with only some barely perceptible creases above
the artwork area and a tiny white speck near the lower right margin. The gold border has some
blotching, and some expertly repaired tears and voids down the right margin, and
expertly repaired thumb tack holes in top margin. 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 high demand and hard to find in this condition!
