Summary

Circular varnished wooden calendar showing month, date and day of the week. The text is printed on fabric roles and there are a series of turning rods at the back to adjust the month, date and day. The calendar can either sit on a desk or hang on a wall from its brass hook. It would have been on display in the office of the Lord Mayor or CEO.
