Calendar Belonging to Pearl Harbor Hero Commander J.D. Jewell (MC)

Sold by Park Sherman of Chicago, this unusual calendar/clock combination has a page for each day from July 3, 1941 through January 6, 1942, thereby of course containing the date of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The clock is set within the calendar's die-cut leaves, which are protected with a top board revealing the clock's face. The last page of the calendar is owner-stamped "J.D. Jewell/Comdr. (MC), U.S. Navy/Ship's Service Officer."

8 5/8 x 6 1/8 in.
