It's the last day of March and that means changing of the calendars at my house. My wall calendars are all vintage, dating from 1929 into the early 1960s. I own several that match 2010; they include 1954, 1943, and 1999. My 1961 calendar began as a 2010 match, but leap year in February of that year ended the match.
My favorite calendar is a 1959 wall calendar from Saint Paul, MN advertising Sanitary Farm Dairy, the local milk company back then. The calendar is our family calendar for that year and lists all the family appointments and birthdays for that year.
People collect calendars for a variety of reasons. Some collect by advertising or the sponsor of the calendar. Others collect by subject matter. I collect calendars by year if the vintage look of the calendar appeals to me. Vintage calendars are generally worth $5 and up, more depending on condition and if they do not have writing on them. Those dated before 1980 may be sought after by collectors.
So, don't throw out those old calendars you come across. Chances are someone may be willing to buy them at your next garage sale!
