An Original Vintage Calendar (measures 10" x 20" [25 x 51 cm]) (Learn More) 1939 New York World's Fair, the 1939 to 1940 international exposition held from April to October 1939 and 1940. The theme of the fair was split into different zones: Transportation, Communications and Business, Food, and the Government Zone. There was also the Billy Rose Aquacade, a musical and water show that starred Johnny Weissmuller and Eleanor Holm. Of special note in the World's Fair was the "Trylon and Perisphere", which were two giant structures side by side, connected by an escalator. The Perisphere contained a diorama showing "The World of Tomorrow". These two structures became the symbol of the World's Fair, and the image of the two structures (in blue and orange) were put on licensed products advertising the World's Fair (it was one of the most licensed events ever, with over 25,000 different products created, from teaspoons to tables, and everything imaginable!).

Important Added Info: Note that this calendar was produced by Johns-Manville, which was founded in 1930, and in 1939 was a super successful company that manufactured massive amounts of asbestos! However, decades later, the connection between asbestos and cancer became irrefutable, and in 1982, they filed for bankruptcy. In 2001, Warren Buffet purchased the company, and it is still operating today. Condition: good. The calendar pad has some pencil writing on the January sheet. The image has a metallic piece inside of the die-cut at top center, and there is rust on that metallic area (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
