My mother had a real wool felt advent calendar exactly like this one when I was young. She probably bought it at the Relief Society Bazaar in our Bartlesville, Oklahoma ward. I think the little elves look really "sixties".
When I was a newlywed, my sister Cindy and I got together and, using our mom's as a pattern, made more of these for all our siblings. Only we were cheap and used nylon felt.
I don't know whatever happened to my mom's original one, but our children have always enjoyed using ours at Christmas.
