<p>[QUOTE="pingis, post: 136724, member: 1726"]Hi! I am in Sweden. That kind of calendar shows up at garage sales here pretty often and normally they do not get sold even if the price is as low as a dollar or two. Almanac and calendar - that's almanacka and kalender in Swedish and both words are often used as synonyms. Most Swedes wouldn't be able to tell the differance between an almanac and a calendar since both words mean pretty much the same to us. If you want to see how much people are paying for almanacs in Sweden you can visit eBay's Swedish branch tradera.com. If you want to know the story of the first owner of your almanac there are data bases you could search that list all immigrants that reached Ellis Island. If you find the same name there as you find in your almanac you could probably track down that person and see where/if he/she lived in Sweden.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
