These fake 1944 calendars continue to appear on ebay, often selling for more than $100. “Mermaidtreasure” currently has one on sale, buy it now, for a mere $149.74. For anyone who harbors some hope that these just MIGHT be true Missouri Pacific artifacts, compare the erroneous “1944” calendar on the metal fake calendar with a true 1944 calendar… note the day of the week that starts each month – the fake calendar is not even 1944.
As stated previously, buying one of these for $10-15, just to have the Eagle artwork, is a legitimate purchase. Selling one as a “rare railroad artifact” to some new or unsuspecting collector at a bloated price is not acceptable.
