1920s Antique Metal Perpetual Calendar Kronheimer &. Oldenbusch Company USA

Offering an antique, made in USA, Kronheimer and Oldenbusch Company perpetual desktop calendar from the 1920’s. It is very simplistic in its design to track each day of the year. The surround is a two-toned bronze metal with engraved days of the week. The bottom front has a turning mechanism for adjusting the month. A metal sliding knob indicates the days on a cloth background calendar. The cloth is protected by a piece of plastic which is original and intact. This piece measures approximately 3 1/4” long x 2 1/4” tall. The thickest width (at the bottom) measures 1 1/4”. The size made it possible for an individual, in the past, to carry the calendar in his pocket. Stamped on the top back, along with the K and O Company logo, is “Patented Feb. 21-28.” This desktop calendar is in very good working order. With a few scratches on the back, it shows some age appropriate wear. For as long as I can remember, it was positioned on my family’s writing desk. Having never been exposed to sunlight, the calendar is not faded. This is a wonderful item from the past which would be a fabulous addition to any collection. Ideal for anyone who appreciates old, straightforward and uncomplicated items. Cash only. Pickup in New Hyde Park, Nassau County, Long Island.
