help id bank calendar

Hi, i acquired this pretty cool little brass calendar. Its from the merchants laclede national bank of st louis Missouri. I was wondering the age and if anyone could help me find another one thats for sale as i couldn't find any other ones online. Thank you for any information! I was thinking 30s or 40s but wasnt for sure.

 

There's a perpetual calendar somewhere on the internet that will tell you what years it could be if the month of February started on a Wednesday. The bank, apparently, closed in 1929.

Yeah, I would have guessed 1920s. No idea where to find another one....and I'm in Missouri!

 

Thank you debora and ghopper! Im only 20 to 25 min away from st louis. ghopper i think the building is by the lacledes landing not sure if the building is still there or not. I just saw a google image pic of it back in the day which is pretty cool.

 

The Merchants Laclede building is a city landmark.

Well, if we're talking 1920's, then 1922 and 1928 are options.

 

Beautiful building, love it!

 

The note pad isn't original. You can remove it, if you wish.

My head is "almost" spinning -- that "calendar" page for February shows dates of February 30 and 31.

 

how is it that Feb has 31 days?

 

It's likely that all the pages show 31 days for each month. A printer's template that got adjusted.

more likely that the dates and month are two different papers.....

 

Some interesting information on the bank......

Thank you all! Definitely some cool history. Deborah I was wondering about that notepad as well but I will take it off haha. Thanks again everyone! Also there are other sheets behind the month of February but hard to tell from pics.
