Product description
It is a plaque-like wooden article measuring 19 inches long by 8 5/8 inches wide. Designed to be mounted on a wall, it consists of a painted, tombstone-shaped board with five horizontal wooden brackets affixed to its face. Accompanying the bracketed board are a number of small, flat wooden squares, each of which is printed with a number representing a day of the month. With reference to day-of-the-week abbreviations printed on the upper portion of the board, the numbered squares are to be placed in the brackets and arranged in calendar-month format for display. Each month, they can be rearranged to the proper current configuration. Flat, interchangeable wooden rectangles printed with the names of the twelve months of the year are also included; the appropriate one can be mounted for temporary display at the top of the board using pegs provided. Since the calendar is meant to be used perpetually, there are no references to any specific year(s).
