FOR SALE IS IS A VERY RARE 1950'S CITY BANK AND TRUST CO JACKSON, MICHIGAN METAL "LIFETIME" DAILY DATE CALENDAR BY THE VERNON COMPANY. THIS IS A VERY SOUGHT AFTER AND HARD TO FIND CALENDAR FROM WHAT IS BILLED AS THE "OLDEST BANK IN MICHIGAN" ESTABLISHED IN 1848. THE CALENDAR IS DATED FROM THE 1950'S.
IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR ITS AGE WITH NO DENTS AND IS MADE OF COPPER PLATED TIN METAL. THE DAY WHEEL HAS SMUDGES / SMALL TEARS ON SOME OF THE DAYS AND SHOWS WEAR ON THE BACKSIDE (SHOWN IN THE LAST PHOTOS). SOME OF THE CALENDAR PAGES HAVE WRITING ON THEM FROM THE 1960'S - 70'S MENTIONING THE KENNEDY ASSASINATION, BAD SNOW STORMS, AND PURCHASE OF A NEW CAR. ITMEASURES 15-1/4" X 9-3/4".
I FOUND AN ARTICLE FROM 2017 CELEBRATING THE 115TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE VERNON COMPANY, WHICH WOULD MAKE THEIR START UP DATE IN 1902. ON THE BACK OF THE "DAY 1" FLIP CARD (SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS) IT SAYS THAT "FOR OVER 50 YEARS AMERICA'S FINEST SPECIALTIES AND SIGNS". THEREFORE BY ADDING 50 YEARS TO 1902 THIS PUTS THE CALENDAR DATE IN THE 1950'S. THE ARTICLE CAN BE READ
