Hello, Did a little lunchtime dig today at one of my surface dumps and found this old office calender whatchamacallit The parts I found cleaned up OK and the date dials still move. Theres a neat looking oil well tower in the emblem and says, " Wertzberger Derrick Co. Tulsa. On the base it says Tip Top trade mark, Brown and Bigelow- Pat Pend, St Paul Minn. I don't know what went inside of the two pieces where the square cut out is Anyone seen anything like this before Thanks and God bless Paul

from the design and approx. size, maybe a business card holder?

It's an old calendar. I had one of these when I was a kid. A person would flip or spin the top part each day
and the new date would slide into place.

Thank you Slabman for that ID Shame I could'nt find the date cards, but maybe they didn't survive Also Thanks too Sniffer Paul

Goodness gracious! I think your piece surely cleaned up real pretty! What a great find!

You know . . . maybe you could possibly contact the company "Brown & Bigelow" & maybe they have a bit of a record on this piece you have? maybe they could narrow down a year as well

If you find out anything I hope you keep us update

Again, congrats on a really interesting find
