Vintage Metal Price Tag Holder with Price Tag from General Store (c.1900s)

Some things just never go out of style...
like this antique general store metal price tag holder for example!

These metal price tag holders used to sit on a shelf in an old general store. When it was time to change the price, the cardstock tag was slid out, and a new price was slid in - simple and easy!

Repurpose one or more of these price tag holders - perfect for a rustic wedding as table markers. Place the holders on your bookcases to mark your shelves - a sure conversation starter. Make your own cardstock tags, and use the holders to mark cheeses and other snacks on a party buffet table. So many possibilities!

The metal shelf markers can be used either flat on a shelf with the front of the marker hanging down, or positioned so the marker faces up (as shown in the third photo).

This listing is for ONE metal price tag holder with price tag. More are available, as shown in the photos. Choose the quantity you need.
