Pinups: George Petty's Ridgid Tools Calendars
This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 9 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great pinup art.


Mike Fontanelli has generously allowed ASIFA-Hollywood to digitize his Rigid Tools. These calendar pages are among the most sought after pinup collectibles, selling for as much as $40 to $50 a sheet. Many thanks to Mike for sharing this with us.















Here's an extra bonus! The 1947 Esquire Petty Girl calendar...

Woooow!!!! Nice post! Petty was a genius! How did he manage to make the girls glow the way he did? In one or two of the pictures a different head seems to be glued onto the body, but the artwork is so good that it doesn't matter.
Many thanks Steve and Mike!
