A cute, stylish vintage flip perpetual desk calendar made in England by Velos. Made from a heavy metal base with a burgundy colour paint coating and a silver colour chrome calendar, it would look fantastic on any desk or table.
When turned, the days flip over in their clever mechanical way with a satisfying 'clunk', and the months are held on little plastic strips held in a small metal tray that can be slid out at the end of the month to change over.
Would say it dates from 1940s (possibly 1950s), and is stamped 'Made in England' and 'Velos' with logo on the underside of the calendar. It has a lovely weighted feel to it.
It measures 8.5cm (3½ inches) wide by 5cm (2 inches) deep and it stands 7.5cm (3 inches) high.
It weighs 220g (nearly 8oz).
The flip numbers all work well, all the month labels are present and condition overall is good vintage condition - there is some chipping to the paint here and there as to be expected for an item of this vintage, but overall it is a good vintage order example.
This would have looked fantastic gracing a desk back in the mid 20th century, and now it could grace yours...
