The listing, SEPTEMBER 1944 CARTOON PINUP CALENDAR has ended.
This is a really cool piece of World War II memorabilia, a cartoon pinup calendar from September 1944 distributed to American troops by the Office of Malaria Control in War Areas in a publicity campaign to with eradicate malaria. This amazing piece of history is in beautiful condition and measures 6 by 6 3/4 inches.
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. :)
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
