Description: Dated ca. 1833-1882, this perpetual calendar, produced by Weeks and Campbell of New York, belonged to John M. Bonnet of Zanesville, Ohio. It features an oriental vase, a woman holding an hourglass, and an owl perched on a crescent moon. Bonnet emigrated from Germany to America, arriving in Zanesville in 1833, where he built upon his knowledge of tailoring and learned the trade of watchmaking. He later opened a jewelry and watch repair business in Zanesville and, at the time of his death in 1882, owned the largest jewelry wholesale business in central Ohio. View on Ohio Memory.
