HMV 3D metal calendar

Post by nostalgia »

I could not resist this one. Nothing better than waking up every day and move the metal ring on this calendar :geek:
I got it from Sweden, and after some Paypal struggles yesterday evening, I was finally able to grab it.
I know it is made in the later years, but I have for some time looked for a calendar like this with a magnet ring to move every day since some of my friends say I should get a calendar like this since I seem to forget holidays etc :roll: , so it couldn't be better since gramophones are on my mind all the time.

You maybe have seen the calendar before, but I could not find it on the forum, so I added it for reference. I found some companies online having sold it in the past, but it seems to be harder to find now, at least all the sellers were out of stock.

These used to be sold brand new on eBay. I have one on my home office wall.
Be careful not to lose the magnetic rings. If one falls off the vacuum cleaner might swallow it.

Then I'm in good company :)
Yes, the vacuum cleaner should be kept away from the rings!
It is said to be brand new, and the seller is running a business where he makes metal signs, but this was the only copy he had for sale,
so I don't know if he ever made them himself or not.
