Coca-Cola: Rare 1901 Calendar "Hilda With Roses" and Early 20th Century Easter Bunny 5¢. Two very rare, early 20th Century Coca-Cola paper. 1.) The 1901 "Hilda with Roses" embossed calendar. 11½ x 8" this example boasts exceptional colors and has the month of December calendar still remaining and the 12 month 1901 page. Calendar is brittle but near intact. There is chipping to the edges and a crease to upper left corner causing a break in the paper. Under the calendar pad there are two cracks to the paper stock. To prevent further damage, archival tape has been applied on verso to all these areas. Grade is at best is good and certainly displays fine in this condition. But expert paper restoration would give considerable visual appeal and stability to this impossibly rare calendar. 2.) Extremely rare soda fountain counter card with Easter Bunny teaching class to three small children. Along the base "At Soda Fountains 5¢" Some discoloration and a bit of fading and surface wear, but very solid given the thickness of cardboard stock used. Estimated Value $300 - UP
