Ray, Check out the seller's other 4 or 5 old calendars. Isn't it odd that
he just happened to find old calendars at estate sales that each started the
first day of the year on a Saturday? He is selling a 1921, 1938, two 1944s,
and a 1955. Those years all started on a Saturday, but what are the odds in
finding only the years that did? This seller is as fake as a three dollar
bill. Ray is so right, Buyer Beware! Each time you look at one of his so
called calendars, you get the feeling you've seen it before. Archie
