Some objects were built to be useful for a year and accidentally became interesting for the next seventy. This compact 1954 desk calendar advertised English Realty Co., Inc. of Great Falls, Montana, back when the office phone number was short enough to memorize and real estate, loans, and insurance all fit neatly on one metal sign.
** Will be the same days of the week for the 2027 calendar year **
The ribbed metal holder has a streamlined mid-century look, while the surviving January 1954 calendar page gives it the kind of wonderfully specific date that ephemera collectors love. It would be a great addition to a vintage office display, Montana collection, real estate desk, or shelf of small advertising pieces.
Condition: Good vintage condition. The metal holder shows scattered scratches, finish wear, small areas of oxidation, and age-related discoloration. The January 1954 calendar page has toning and minor edge wear. Please review the photos for the exact condition.
