Included in this lot we have a Springfield fire and marine insurance company tin calendar chartered in 1849. The calendar shows the image of a covered wagon pulled by cattle with a cowboy on a horse riding behind. The piece is made of a painted metal plate with a cardboard backing.

The month cards share the same colors but are printed with four months pew card. The left side of the piece is marked "Springfield Fire & Marine Insurance Company - Chartered 1849 - Springfield Massachusetts Chicago - San Francisco - Montreal".
