Almost de rigeur once upon a time - you know, that time before your mobile phone did just about everything. The perpetual calendar is still a very nice desktop accessory and actually rather useful too. This one is mounted on a piece of slate (of course) with green felt underside. The body of the calendar is in black plastic with a textured finish and has a silver tone fascia. It works. It tells you the day, date and month, but only if you remember to change it (perpetually).

Measures approximately 23cm (9 in.) in width (across the front), with a maximum depth of 10cm (4 in.) and a height of 7.5cm (3 in.). It weighs about 750g.

A small Mid-Century (or possibly even earlier) desktop perpetual calendar consisting of an angled wooden base containing two large cubes for the day numerals, two rectangular shapes for the day names, and six smaller rectangles for the months (one on each side). In un-tampered with condition this is a visually appealing decorative but functional item which would grace almost any room in the home.

The lettering on the day and month names shows signs of use but that's all part of its charm - they are legible. The day numerals show less sign of wear and tear. Otherwise, the wood is in good shape, no chips or cracks and nothing more than the evidence of time and use to show on it.

The calendar measures approximately 7cm (2¾ in.) in height and similarly front-to-back. The larger numeral cubes are approximately 3.5cm square (1¼ in. square) for reference.
