“Eyes That Invite” is a colorful and classic 1950 original glamour girl pin up pastel by Pearl Frush, published by the Gerlach-Barklow Calendar Company of Joliet, Illinois.

Pearl Frush was one the twentieth century’s leading female pin up illustrators, and worked steadily with many of the USA’s leading calendar companies. This was gifted by a salesman at Gerlach-Barklow to the Robberson Steel Company of Oklahoma City in appreciation for their lucrative advertising account.
