Got this one last week off ebay. 1960s Metal Aciform Coca Cola calendar.
The main reason I had my eye on this was, it wasn't very expensive, had that green border to it and perfect in size to display anywhere! Very light weight too. Measures 13" from eyelet to the bottom and 9 1/2" from widest point across the fishtail. Nicely embossed and ready to hang. My wife's gonna make me some more calendar sheets so it will be full. Did I mention, she's a graphic designer!

Looks great! nice grab.
Nice snag Perry! I like this calendar form a lot. I've taken a run at a few like this and others, but no luck so far. A calendar is on my wish list. As I seem to often say: It's hard trying to keep up with you!!!
Good grab Perry!! Dave, we'll never keep up with " Perry, the sweet-sign magnet" lol and Petretti was kind enough to print my wish list hahaha!!
Thank you so much EJW-54, Dave and Tommy! I just try to buy when I have spare time.
Some of these Coca Cola things scream at me, some don't. This calendar is quite small but effective for sure. Such an interesting shape and size. I have decided to put my brother's birth date on it, August 21, 1963!
Sweet little sign Perry! You are right,these liitle guys can go anywhere,fill a gap,and look awesome! What's the significance with your brothers bday?
Have a great week-end!!
Thank you cck, officialfuel, Bernie and ay! None really Bernie other than I couldn't think of anything else interesting to put on it. You too Bernie!

Small world Ray,,,,but I wouldn't want to paint it! lol
I'm actually a singer in Nashville and work for a lot of different acts in all genres.
You may want to watch on Wed. night, I'll be singing with Faith Hill on the CMAs.
My wife is the graphic designer, she has all the real talent.
Hey hotkitties, the paper calendars were replaced every year obviously but the tin sign was made in 1963.
