For your consideration, you are viewing a Mid CenturyVintage Casdon England Bakelite Backing Free Standing Perpetual Calendar featuring a silver-coloured composite embossed Ships Wheel with 2 Lifesaver Rings and 2 Fish at the base as the front facade. It has 3 internal wheels, with a finger recess on the outer facade to turn them (one at the top, and one on either side) so that you can rotate the dials to change the DAY, the MONTH, and the YEAR. It has a bright swirling green bakelite composite backing board with 2 legs, that stand easily. On the front, it features a poem printed on paper that has been glued onto the front in the centre of the ship's wheel, which reads
- HOME
- However far we wander,
- Wherever we may roam,
- Our thoughts will still be
- Turning
- To those we love at
- HOME
It has its embossed marker mark on the green bakelite backing board which reads "A CASDON PRODUCT BRITISH MADE REGISTERED DESIGN APPLIED FOR."
#CASDON LTD (1946-CURRENT) Tom Cassidy worked during the war as a toolmaker, hand engraver and die sinker in Blackpool. Later in his spare time, he repaired household vacuum cleaners, and in September 1944 he married Bridget Donnelly. In early 1946 Tom left his ‘day job’ to become self-employed, in June 1946 he began to record sales in his ledger book. In the 1950s he rented a small building and his workforce grew to 12 employees, output increased and Tom was joined in the partnership by his brother Joe. The trademark ‘CASDON’ was registered. (a combination of Tom's surname "Cassidy" and his wife Bridget’s maiden name, "Donnelly"). By the 1960s the company was separated from fancy goods manufacturing and moved into toys and games which continues today.
