Metal with brass or copper wash but magnetic so different metal.. Here is a 1912 Priests of Pallas Perpetual Calendar Kansas City with cards pictured, which is pretty unusual to have original cards and clean looking holder. Not sure of what card count should really be, so what is pictured is all that is included. Calendar measures 7 1/4″ tall, 3 3/4″ wide, weighs close to 1/2 pound counting cards. Not going to describe condition just check pictures. Super Rare Find!

Three month cards, first reads January February and backside March April, second May June backside July August, third reads September October backside November December. 4 day week cards, 4 have Sunday through Monday 31 days and 3 backside with one side blank, makes 7 weeks total have the same sun-mon 31 days. Plastic coated cards have cracks, splits and corners missing.
The Priests of Pallas was a week-long festival held annually in Kansas City from 1887 until 1912, and revived briefly from 1922 to 1924. Festival supporters set out to promote Kansas City’s image as the “Athens of the West” and to parallel other celebrations such as New Orleans’s Mardi Gras and St. Louis’s Veiled Prophet. Pallas Athene was the patroness of the festival and motifs were based loosely on figures from Greek mythology.
Dated 1912, Over 100 years old and still looking great! Please check pictures for description and condition.
