1950 Pocket Calendar Advertising for a Pork Butcher (Le Havre and Sanvic, France, 1950). Size: 2” x 3”
Very charming miniature golden calendar. The cover presents a boy kneeling in front of a girl; both wear Normandy regional costumes. This golden calendar was printed for a pork butcher selling on a local market in Le Havre (quartier Sanvic) in the 1950's. "Le petit cochon sanvicais" means "The little Sanvic pig". Tiny calendars were a charming advertising medium since the very early 20th century. Seller notes, “Sanvic is the first district you can see by a train window when you arrive in Le Havre. But it used to be a town since 1955, so before the calendar was printed! That is the reason why the little advert mention Le Havre and Sanvic markets.”

From the Etsy Seller: “This tiny calendar was printed for a chocolate-maker, confectioner. While doing research about it, I discovered that Simone LEVAVASSEUR de STOECKLIN, the owner, secretly gave shelter and convoyed successively 40 Allied airmen and a certain number of Jews, despite her being denounced, during World War II and German Occupation (in the very moment the calendar was printed). Simone LEVAVASSEUR de STOECKLIN received the Médaille de la Résistance, de la Croix de Guerre avec Etoile d'Argent, the Médaille des Combattants Volontaires, the Medal of Freedom, and the Kings's Medal for Courage in the Cause of Freedom.”
