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 very good overall condition scoring a 9 on a scale of 1 - 10. This calendar has survived 55+ 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, original and well preserved calendar pad, but a reproduction greeting letter, which is not attached. The artwork print area is in excellent condition with only some very minor vertical creases in the center of the artwork image. The tuscan red border has a long horizontal crease to the left of the date pad. The gold border has some edge creasing in the margins and a professionally repaired small tear in the lower right corner. 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 better condition!
