A very stylish vintage perpetual desk calendar with dials to spin day, both digits of the date and month. The calendar is made from metal of a silver colour, the barrel of octagonal shape with engine turned decoration to 3 faces, and it stands on a shiny black plastic-type (Lucite?) base, it would look fantastic on any desk or table.Would say it dates from the early 1960s.It bears an inscription to a Chairman 1959-61 of 'The Smugglers Snuff'.A little research shows this to be a small nightclub set up in the Sussex village of Ditchling (home to the late Dame Vera Lynn) - read more about the club by scrolling to the 'Ditchling's Night Club' section of this page:https://www.ditchlinghistoryproject.org/windows-on-ditchling.htmlThe base measures 15cm (6 inches) wide by 5cm (2 inches) deep and it stands 4.5cm (2 inches) high.It weighs 240g (8½ oz).The calendar dials all work well and condition overall is good vintage condition, with a few marks here and there as to be expected for an item of this vintage, but overall it is a good vintage example.This would have looked fantastic gracing a desk back in the mid 20th century, and now it could grace yours...** Combined Shipping **Shipping can be combined for multiple item purchases made at the same time - either contact me before purchase so I can calculate a combined shipping price, or purchase and I will refund any excess shipping over actual cost.
