This old butcher's price tag was designed to display prices directly on the stalls. Its elegant cut-out shape, its "Merguez" inscription, and its roller system allowing the price per kilogram to be changed perfectly illustrate the food retail equipment used before the widespread adoption of modern printed labels. An authentic testimony to the world of butcher shops and markets from the 1950s to the 1970s, it now appeals to collectors of store equipment as well as vintage decor enthusiasts.
