Monday Vintage Find


This was my Mother's shopping list gadget.  She would use this every week.  I remember being so excited when I was allowed to make the list by moving the small red beads.   I notice that the ice cream red bead is a little loose!  This list maker is from the days when I would go to the grocer with Mum.  The teddy bear biscuits (and all the biscuits) were in square metal tins which had an illustration on the front showing the type of biscuit.  The required biscuits were weighed and sold in paper bags. 

The list gadget was made in Austria.

I never saw a thing like this, what good memories you must have while looking at it.

What a great idea. I have never seen this before. Saves paper for writing out lists.
