Here's a calendar we dug in a 1920s dump. The calendar is one reason we know it's a 20s dump. Also, it is consistent with the milk bottles we've found that have embossed dates on the bottom, the amounts of abm versus blown in mold bottles, and the relative amounts of screw cap bottles. It also fits in with the years in business of companies whose embossed bottles we've dug up. Of course, something like this could always have been discarded many years after it was made, so you need to look at everthing found. For example, we'd also found another plastic calendar that was dated 1918, but based on everything else found, it was apparently tossed years later.
I've been trying to smush this calendar flat with some lead weights for about a month now. But after over 70 years of being crumpled in the ground, I guess it'll take awhile to get flat again.
