<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 1980, member: 51"]Just curious if anyone had run across similar. This last weekend I purchased some incredible Alberto Vargas calendars from the estate of an artist, collector. Years 42,43,45,47, but it is the 1943 one that I feel is pretty rare. Has anyone run across this version?</p><p><br /></p><p>It comes in a colorful cardboard mailer--front of mailer shows contents, 12 month Varga calendar 1943, Esquire magazine, Holiday January 1944 (magazine also has the same 12 photos from calendar inside) and a puzzle of Susan Haywood. Everything inside is present, just as shown on the cover. It almost seems to have a military theme -- were these sent to soldiers by any chance? January's little rhyme talks about the military, a few other months as well. Although this is in a mailer, it never appears to have been mailed, but there are initials with a #in pencil on the front. All thoughts appreciated. Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]274[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]275[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]277[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]278[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]279[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]280[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
