WHOOPS, I MEANT TO SAY IT'S A 6 YEAR CALENDAR! =D
Found this last weekend and finally got it cleaned up good! All the parts are there minus the matches. :lol:

It's a really cool piece and I was happy to find it. They appear to be rather scarce also. The first website I found showed one in non-dug condition that SOLD for $33 and the only 2 I could find under the "sold" section on eBay went for $15.00 and $13.49. :)

Last picture is what it would look like originally. :grin:

Cool piece! What type of location was it where you found it?

Thanks! I found it around an old brick school that was built in the early 50's. :)
Most of the area around it is older than the school so hard to say when it was dropped!
