MARILYN MONROE COLLECTION
I am a life-long collector, not a dealer, of music related stuff, and I take meticulous care of my collections. Though I am not a professional grader, the following items are in great condition and are being sold as a complete lot. Please note I do not wish to sell these items piecemeal. THE SPECIAL PACKAGE PRICE FOR ALL BELOW ITEMS HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM $1,000 to $650 Pick-up in St. George, Utah.
VINTAGE MARILYN MONROE’S NUDE CALENDAR
This is Marilyn’s famous nude pose with a complete 1955 calendar. The "Golden Dreams" image used for this pin-up calendar featured Tom Kelley's nude photography of the star before she became the most famous actress in the world. The calendar is unrestored and unused, and please note the calendar shows her nude... no white strip. This iconic picture-calendar is professionally framed under UV “museum glass” in a gorgeous 1½” high shadow-type box, measuring ~ 14” x 24”. The authentic, original framed picture has been kept in a smoke-free environment in a cool, dark room for nearly 40 years. As a result, the aging factor has been minimized. The frame and calendar are in excellent condition. You will be hard pressed to find this classical art form in better condition anywhere.
