Serving as both a monthly, perpetual calendar and a metric ruler, this witty, clever desk accessory features a die-cast star that fits into the sawtooth-edged ruler and can roll along to the appropriate date of the month. The monthly calendar dates are placed at one centimeter intervals, allowing for 30 cm of measurement. One one side of the die-cast star, there are printed English day initials while on the other, French initials. The ruler itself is made of beech wood.dimensions: L x W x H Ruler 12.5 x .5 x 1.25 inches 32 x 1.5 x 3 cm Star 1 x 1 x .5 inches 2.75 x 2.75 x 1.5 cm Available at [ Luminaire online store ]
