Original Listing Description

Coca-Cola: Rare Antique 1904 Calendar “Lillian Nordica, Red Artwork” Unframed Important and scarce 1904 cardboard advertising calendar for Coca-Cola, featuring famous opera star Lillian Nordica, along with original period 1903/1904 tear sheets. Lillian Nordica graces this 1904 calendar and captures the elegance of the time period while selling Coca-Cola (note: table stenciled with “Delicious Refreshing”); clearly depicting both the logo and sign for Coca-Cola. Published by Wolf & Co. Philadelphia The calendar is in very good condition and includes an original period, loose 1903 July tear sheet, along with additional attached tear sheets at bottom dating from August 1903 through June 1904. Inclusive is the final back tear sheet showing the entire year of 1904 by months, which has several areas of chipping, brittleness, and page browning. Nail hole at bottom goes through all sheets. As for the combination of years, it’s been suggested that someone could have subsequently placed the earlier pad on this calendar artwork for display or sales purposes at some point in time. There is some very minor chipping along borders, slight crease on upper left corner and center, partial upper right corner missing, some spotting, and overall age toning which has dulled some of the vibrancy of the lithograph. I am not an expert by any means and am selling this item “as is”, so please review all photos and ask questions prior to bidding. Size: 15-1/2 X 7-7/8” Certainly, this will be your opportunity to own this lovely example of a rare Coca-Cola calendar!
