$25.00

Offered is an original 1983–1984 RIDGID Tools pin-up advertising calendar produced by The Ridge Tool Company, featuring colorful swimsuit photography paired with the company's famous red RIDGID tools and equipment.

This wonderfully unusual piece of 1980s advertising combines industrial tool promotion with classic pin-up calendar photography. Each two-month spread features a different model photographed with RIDGID products in beach, poolside, boating and other settings, along with smaller photographs incorporated into the tool advertisements.

The calendar photography is credited to noted glamour photographer Peter Gowland. The July/August 1983 spread also includes an interesting reference to an earlier RIDGID calendar, noting that Stephanie earned the title of “Miss RIDGID Tools.”

The cover introduces the models featured throughout the calendar: Debbie, Juneane, Jennifer-Lynn, Stephanie, Kathy, Leslie, Nanci, Quin, Patty, Jill, Barbara and Karrie.
