Had not thought about these in years....so cool to see one again. Another tool from the past gone to the wayside.
|
After being reminded I too remember seeing those. Wonder why they ever quit using them.
|
I remember those! Oh my! What a find you have.
|
Same memories here dunster, JC Penny's and Sears used these a lot and the tubes too. Many dept. stores used the tubes for years. Gosh how things have changed with our modern technology.
|
I remember those! I went to a store with my Grandma and she loved to sew and she bought fabric that way. Wow that picture brings back memories. Good memories
|
In the 70's I worked in the business office of a hospital where pneumatic tubes were used to transport documents. I don't remember what was sent through them or where they came from or went to. I think it was patient charge slips.
|
Ahhhhh memories!!!
|
WOW what a blast from the past!!!....and the cut it made....and yes, I too wish I'd known about stockpiling!!!
|
Memories of going fabric shopping with my grandmother. I would love to own one of those!

I had posted this in a thread, but realized a lot of young quilters may never have seen one. Fabric is run through the groove when it comes off of the bolt and the hands on the front measure the yards. A friend is trying to restore it. If it happens, I'll send after pictures. I have no idea of the proper name for it. The reset button on the rear started a great zip noise as the hands went back to place. |
