1953 Pennsylvania Railroad Calendar Original -- "Crossroads of Commerce"  (RI)
This is an original 1953 PRR wall calendar featuring a reproduction of a Grif Teller painting titled "Crossraods of Commerce" and measuring approx. 29" x 28 5/8" and in Very Good overall condition scoring a 8 on a scale of 1 - 10. This calendar has survived 50+ years thus far and is still in great condition! The scene shows a busy junction in West Virginia's Panhandl, about 30 miles west of Pittsburgh, PA on the railroad's St. Louis main line. The view is along the Ohio River looking west from Weirton, West Virginia. This particular calendar has a complete and well preserved date pad, and the broadside is attached and also well preserved. The artwork print area is in nearly perfect condition with no noticeably perceptible imperfections. The tuscan red border is also virtually intact with no noticeably perceptible imperfections. The gold border has some minor edge damage and a couple of expertly repaired small tears. 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 hard to find in this condition!
