Vintage Calendars: A Lucrative Find for Collectors and Sellers

Vintage calendars can be a lucrative find for collectors and sellers alike.

Advertising calendars from major companies, such as Coca-Cola in the mid-20th century, often sell well to collectors. Pinup girl calendars are also highly sought after, with some editions selling for hundreds of dollars online.

A 1947 Esquire pinup girl calendar, featuring artwork by Alberto Vargas, originally sold for just 35 cents but attracted an asking price of $215 on eBay. A 1923 Coca-Cola calendar, which was sold as well-maintained in a solid wood frame, listed for nearly $800.

Other notable calendars include the 1956 Crown Cork & Seal Co.'s 'Dizzy Dean' calendar, which fetched $795 on eBay, and a 1970s cloth towel calendar featuring a retro red Cadillac that sold for nearly $100.
