1952 Pennsylvania Railroad Calendar Original --
"The Horseshoe Curve"
(RI)
This is an original 1952 PRR
wall calendar featuring a reproduction of a Grif Teller painting titled "The
Horseshoe Curve" 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 52+ years thus far and is still in great
condition! The scene is a bird's eye view of the famous Horseshoe Curve, just
west of Altoona, PA. Even after a century and a half of service, this
engineering marvel still carries the Pennsylvania's main line navigating the
Allegheny Mountains linking Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and the Ohio Valley. This
particular calendar has a complete and well
preserved calendar pad, and a professionally reproduced copy of the original
greeting letter is attached
as well. The artwork print area is in virtually perfect condition with no
noticeably perceptible imperfections. The tuscan red border is virtually
intact with only a barely noticeable imperfection (whitish smudge) near the
lower right corner. The gold border has some very minor edge creasing in the margins. All of the 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
very hard to find in this condition!
