Vintage 1960s German Folk Art Wooden Perpetual Calendar - AFRC Chiemsee Souvenir sign pf
$50.00
Bring vintage European charm to your home with this authentic 1950s/1960s German wooden perpetual slide calendar. Featuring vibrant, hand-painted traditional Bavarian folk art (Bauernmalerei), this tactile piece allows you to manually adjust the day, date, and month by sliding the wooden slats.
What makes this specific piece incredibly special is its unique provenance. The back features an original yellow price tag from the AFRC (Armed Forces Recreation Center) Hotels Gift Shop at Lake Chiemsee, Germany. Following WWII, these resorts were used exclusively for U.S. military personnel and their families stationed in Europe. This calendar was purchased as a beloved souvenir and brought back to the States, making it a wonderful piece of both German craftsmanship and American military history.
