Hmmm…if I’d had this question first, I would have asked you.
 I saw a reference somewhere, but can’t remember details. Mine starts with March also, for what it’s worth. I hope someone with a better memory can chime in. Jeff, I assume you consulted TPS?

good old google. These calendars, like this example, start with March, the same month production began under the Parker Brothers name in the late 1860s.

This is not unique to Parker. Vintage advertising calendars starting with March seem to have been a relatively common thing. It was a marketing idea that centered around the idea of spring and renewal/fresh starts.
