The upper five bands are inscribed with four x's followed by the numbers 1-31. The lower band is inscribed with the initials of the days of the week.A similar calender from a porte crayon is illustrated on the front cover of 'Collecting Pencils', by Courtier, Marshall & Marshall (second revised edition). The object was probably made by the Birmingham silversmith Joseph Willmore (1803-45) in 1817.
