These old butcher shop price tags were designed to display prices directly on refrigerated counters. Made of rigid plastic with red and black lettering, they feature wheels that allow the price in francs to be changed according to daily rates. The mentions "Frozen Sheep's Brain" and "Blanquette for Braising" testify to the commercial practices and presentation of butcher's shelves during the post-war decades. Their particularly decorative handwritten graphics now give them a strong evocative power of traditional food shops. Sold individually.
