Bring classic "Mad Men" executive energy to your workspace with this authentic vintage Park Sherman perpetual roller desk calendar. Manufactured in the United States by the renowned Park Sherman Company of Springfield, Illinois, this mechanical desktop piece features a heavy tiered brass base supporting a cylindrical rolling drum. By manual operation of the knurled knobs extending from both sides, you rotate the internal scrolling fabrics to set the weekday, two-digit date numbers, and month.
Dating from the 1950s to the 1960s, this mechanical beauty requires no batteries or plugs—just a satisfying daily click of the dial. It is highly collectible and functions as a handsome centerpiece for mid-century modern office desks, industrial study tables, library rooms, or bookshelf styling.

- Mechanics: The two side tuning knobs turn properly, successfully rotating the internal manual roller windows to read days, numbers, and months clearly.
- Base: The underside retains its original golden-tan protective felt backing cloth, which is fully intact and features the crisp, central circular manufacturer stamping reading "Park Sherman Co. Springfield Ill."
Approximate Dimensions:
