c.1900 Johnnie Walker Lithographed Tin Desktop Calendar Advertising Display
Presented here is a seldom seen circa 1900 Johnnie Walker Scotch Whisky countertop - easel back perpetual desk calendar. The golf and whisky advertising piece is constructed from lithographed tinplate and features a die-cut silhouette of the iconic Johnnie Walker striding man figure, depicted here in mid-golf swing, accompanied by a young caddy in uniform. The crate is inscribed with the phrase FORE MOST SINCE 1820. The assembly is supported by its original hinged sheet metal easel back for tabletop display. The calendar function is facilitated by two horizontal slots in the front panel designed to hold cardstock inserts. Included is an assortment of cardstock strips containing the months and dates of the calendar. All months and dates are present - the only one known to have its original and complete 12 month calendar and date set. We have not handled one of these before so this is extremely rare. Condition includes typical aging for a 125 year old piece but this is where rarity means everything. Measures 14” H x 8” Wide.
