Alright.. I have my Orange Squeeze cooler panels at a friends house waiting (forever) to be sandblasted...
While waiting I'm always hunting for Nichol Kola stuff... don't find much but did run across a collector's image
of  NK 1941 calendar.... So I know they did exist... but haven't been able to locate one for sale.. then I thought
how hard would it be to make.... Soooooo....

Working from the collector's image of the real calendar it's clear they used about the only art/cardboard they made...
a bathing beauty with the bottle... that sign I have... so taking it to a friend's print shop I scanned it in pieces, took
it into photoshop put it back together, cleaned it up (did major plastic surgery on her eyes as they don't match and
that drives me crazy!).... anyway and scaled it down.... took info from Chris' fan of a real bottling company and placed it underneath like they had...
it would cost a lot (about $20 a piece) to have 50 made... they are 10.5 wide and about 23 inches tall...
best I could guess from the original and I used a 1943 Norman Rockwell calendar size I have for measurements....
Anyway my buddy printed out a couple for me and I made the 1941 calendar pad off a regular copier just for myself....
and well... here she is....
