Rare railroad advertising calendar!

A rare 1927 railroad calendar by Stephen J. Voorhies - unused with its original mailer tube. Coverage embraces parts of New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts - highlighting the vital New York - Boston corridor. The calendar promotes the services of the New England Steamship Company, the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad, and the New England Transportation Company - steamships, trains, and buses, respectively. An impressive locomotive takes center stage, but a bus, steamship, trolley, and impressive railway bridges are also represented.
Publication History and Census
This map was drawn by Stephen Jerome Voorhies and printed by Rand McNally for the above companies. We note a poster version of the map in Stephen J. Hornsby's Picturing America (plate 105), but the only other example of the calendar we are aware of is one we sold in 2018.
Condition

Good. Minor water damage to calendar. Edge Wear.
