1946 Etched Scotty Dog 5 Year Calendar Matchbook Case

WHOOPS, I MEANT TO SAY IT'S A 6 YEAR CALENDAR! =D
Found this last weekend and finally got it cleaned up good! All the parts are there minus the matches. :lol:

It's a really cool piece and I was happy to find it. They appear to be rather scarce also. The first website I found showed one in non-dug condition that SOLD for $33 and the only 2 I could find under the "sold" section on eBay went for $15.00 and $13.49.

Last picture is what it would look like originally. :grin:

Cool piece! What type of location was it where you found it?

Cool piece! What type of location was it where you found it?

Thanks! I found it around an old brick school that was built in the early 50's.
Most of the area around it is older than the school so hard to say when it was dropped!
