Retro Charge Cards
Today many of us carry around a host of charge cards which fill up our wallets. The cards nowadays are 2"x 3 1/2" plastic cards which all of us are familiar with. Before the early 1970's charge cards were small metal cards which employees would insert into a charge press with carbon paper to make an imprint. In today's post I have a few examples of old Denholms charges along with the respective case for carrying them. Do you remember these?

I remember these so well! Seeing them brought back such memories. I wish I still had one. I'd better look around the house and if I do...it's yours!!
ReplyDeleteI remember it too! didn't realize it was to do with a charge!! Speaking of charges. There is a Hires root beer coupon offered by Denholm and McKay on Etsy. Just search for " Antique Hires root beer coupon"
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I will look for it. Much appreciated.
