This charming, original, 1930 Coca-Cola Advertising Calendar measures approx. 12” by 25" including the partial calendar pad. It lacks the original tin strip at the top edge. This very rare and highly sought after, 1930 Coca -Cola Calendar features one of the many pieces of artwork commissioned by Coca-Cola and used in the late 1920's and 1930's to illustrate Calendars, Advertising Trays, Postcards, Blotters, Print Advertisements, etc. This image pictures a beautiful young woman wearing a bathing suit and sitting on a rock on the shore of a lake. She reaches above her head with her right arm and in her left hand she holds a classic, 8 ounce bottle of Coke. Another bottle of Coke and a soda fountain glass sit on the rock beside the woman. In the foreground left we can see the bow of a canoe. The Image is signed in the plate by the artist - Hayden Hayden – and is marked "Copyright Coca-Cola Co." and also marked “Lithographed in the U.S.A.”. The Calendar retains the original calendar pad with the March page showing (the pad is incomplete). This very rare and charming, original 1930 Coca-Cola Advertising Calendar is in very good condition. The Calendar is intact and displays nicely as matted. There is no physical damage or repairs of any kind to the Calendar Print itself – no tears, chips, edge wear or creases – however, the Calendar does lack the original tin strip at the top edge and retains only a partial calendar pad. The top page of the calendar pad (thew March page) is age toned and has some spots of water staining as well as edge wear as can be seen in the scans below. There is just a hint of light toning to the Calendar Print but overall this nearly 100year old Coca-Cola Advertising Calendar is well preserved and displays nicely.
