This souvenir perpetual calendar commemorates the 1939 New York World’s Fair and shows the Trylon & Perisphere, the enormous Modernist structures that symbolized the fair. It is made of a silver tone metal with blue and orange decoration on the front and black on the back. Although it is identified as a 22 year calendar, there are only 14 possible calendar combinations, thus it can be used forever by matching up the corresponding years when turning a wheel. It is marked COPYRIGHT 1939 BY WALTER LAMPL. The 1939 New York World’s Fair was highly significant in the development of Lampl’s company, as he was awarded the exclusive rights to produce charms with views of the fair inside.
Measures 1-5/8 × 1-7/8 inches.
Very good vintage condition, with light scuffing to lacquer finish.
