Thank you! I do think it is pretty cool. I learned a bot more about the fascinating history of these calendars at http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/12/19/167470936/how-the-u-s-stopped-malaria-one-cartoon-at-a-time

How fascinating!!! **Thank-You** for posting that link--that was really cool info!!! I'm surprised you'd want to get rid of it after hearing that NPR report!! Count me in....I'll be bidding! :)

You are very welcome. Actually the only reason I'm putting this to bid is I have another copy of the same calendar, but with handwritten commentary by someone I assume was a G.I., which makes it even more interesting to me. :)

Does this have all of the months, or is just September represented? Thanks

And this is not a repro? Thanks. Had to ask.

No, I'm pretty sure it is authentic.I founds it stuck in the pages of an old magazine from the 1940's that I bought on Ebay a few years back.

cool way to find treasure.

Hehe, thanks! I have found some of the most interesting things between the pages of old magazines and books including unused theater tickets from 1938, and unused but stamped German post card of Rommel, and an autographed photo of Theo Hardeen, Harry Houdini's brother! :D
