I've never seen anything quite like this 2 1/2" x 6" example of the 1922 calendar. It popped up BIN over the weekend on eBay for $18 delivered.
I usually don't spend much time looking at fantasy, reproduction, restored, and fake items. But something about this piece intrigued me, so I eyeballed it for 15 min or so before taking a leap of faith.
It appears to be a small color copy or perhaps cut-out of a book, which has been encased in a relatively heavy metal frame with a thin plastic cover. Somebody took a bit of time and effort to create this little piece of Coca-Cola artwork. Maybe a kid for metal shop class. Who knows?
The image evokes Springtime and Baseball. Delicious and Refreshing. Well... I just couldn't resist. Glad I didn't.

Sweet mini sized piece Dave, looks vintage!
Thanks Michael for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments. I'm enjoying the collecting more than ever.
Thank you Bernie! I would love to open it up for a better look at the paper, but no way to do it without ruining the case. It does appear to have some age to it. I thought for a minute it might be painted, but under the mag glass there's definitely print there. Very fine lines with an overlay of dot patterns. Either an old copier or a book picture, I'm thinking.
She's very lovely
Thanks Aimathena for visiting.
