Coronation souvenir calendar

Date Added: 24 February 2009 Year: 1937 Institution Name: dnhhl Cat No: | 2001_231 | Picture No: 6878

Circular souvenir calendar commemorating the 1937 Coronation, advertising R.R. Johnstone, Chemist, Dornoch (Dornoch spelled Dornock). Date is changed by means of knobs on the back, only one of which still works (second day number). Other date indicators appear to be loose inside the calendar. Front is pale green card with crocodile skin texture, with oval inset with portraits of George VI & Elizabeth , mainly coloured blue and red. Probably designed as trade giveaway - flimsy construction.

Dimensions: Diameter 150 mm
