This rare double-sided English perpetual calendar, made entirely of lithographed sheet metal, evokes the golden age of three-dimensional advertising. Its colorful column shape, decorated with green diamonds and a marbled base, conceals three internal rollers for displaying the day, date, and month. A beautiful countertop object with industrial charm, somewhere between an office accessory and an advertising display.
