Good day, I have a 1951 vintage Marilyn Monroe “golden dreams” calendar, and after doing much research online, I have ascertained that it is in fact a Monroe 1951 vintage original.

The dimensions of the calendar are 16 by 33 inches; has all the months intact from January 1951 through December 1951; and was made in the U.S.A. by Amalgamated Lithographers of America in Chicago by Union Label Local No. 4 (whose logo appears on the calendar; and the ad on the calendar reads as follows:

1920   Thirty One Years of Service   1951
FRANK MANFREDI
Advertising Specialties   -   Calendars
Phone Dexter 1-9272
62 SILVER SPRING ST.
PROVIDENCE 4, R.I.

The calendar does not have “posed by Marilyn Monroe” to the right of her as the reproductions do.  It is dated 1951, has the metal strips at the top and bottom and also the loop for hanging and “golden dreams” printed below her feet. 

I would greatly appreciate your opinion on the value of this MM 1951 calendar and what steps to take, should I decide to sell this calendar.

Respectfully yours,
Joseph Acevedo

this coca cola ad is from 1890, it looks original to me from the rusty nails and wear and tear on the back of it, it is a 6 panel wood coca cola sign with beautiful detailed art, for an old piece it is in good condition and no damage is done to the picture 

Yamkees team autographed baseball, 56 or 57.  Most signitures are legible, a few are smudged.  Mantle, Ford, Stengel, to name a few.  Has been under protective case since i acquired it in 1991.  Will have photos shortly 

This painting is a nature scene..could be morning could be evening with the red horizon..the frame looks hand crafted...very nice...looks like it has a bronze or gold leaf...the date is 1924 with an artist signature Claryce Haygarth.

It has water that runs through it and has grassy banks...the trees I cant tell what they are..they may be from a diffeterent area...they remind me of alder or birch...but darker .

The picture is oil on canvas and the canvas is in great condition...the measurements are not including the frame. The canvas is attached to a wooden frame and that is what is attached to the pretty frame. The outer frame measures 34 1/2 tall x 24 1/4 wide.

I have attached some pictures with this.

Table has two 'leaves' on each end that pull out

and slip up level with the table top.

Chairs have some 'routing' on front piece

Table has same type of 'routing' on side

Good solid fat piggy bank , lots of paint scraches, no dents, and complete. painted rusty red&brown. Can any one tell how old this is , i know its been in storage for last 30 years. Kovels reported  (years ago) one like this auctioned for about $ 5000.00, might have been in bettter condition.
