A trio of vintage desk accessories, featuring a desk pen and perpetual calendar set by Parker. The set is constructed from a honey-coloured moulded material, likely an early hard plastic such as Bakelite, featuring a rectangular base with a rounded pen holder on a swivel mount. Integrated into the base is a mechanical perpetual calendar finished in a gold-toned metal, featuring black plastic adjustment knobs for the day, date, and month. A small maker’s mark is visible at the bottom of the calendar face which reads PARKER. The lot includes a matching memo pad holder of the same moulded material, designed with a recessed paper tray and a raised border with parallel incised lines. Accompanying these pieces is a decorative hinged trinket box crafted from polished alabaster or marble, exhibiting prominent green and blue veining. The box features gold-toned metal rims and a hinged lid, opening to reveal a mottled blue and green flock-lined interior.
