Those were the good ole days! We've been to On a Shoestring , in Bluff Park before. We'll be back again. A wonderful place in Birmingham to revisit days gone by.
A potter friend (sadly long gone) used to tell felow potters about his (vaguely Oriental-sounding) Chaching glaze. (There's shino and similar sounding glazes, so it was a perfect set-up" "Chaching?" they'd say "Never heard of it" "Yep" he said "As soon as customers see it,"Chaching" goes the cash register..!"

Love the photo...love the title!!!
Those probably had fewer down times than the new fangled computer ones!!!
I actually remember many of the smaller stores having these when I was growing up. Nice.
Well framed... classic image!

I love, love antique stores! Show us more, show us more!
Did you buy any bling with your ching?
Il y a vraiment de jolis objets dans cette boutique! Pensez-vous que cette caisse enregistreuse fonctionne encore?

That sure is one perdy cash register.
This one's a beauty: photo and subject. Somehow I'm thingking anyone living "on a shoestring" doesn't have a chance at purchasing it.
But not like STL "Casinos Are Us." This has a nostalgic charm. All technology must pass.
I'm expecting some heat on my Monday post but you'll like it.
Thank you all for your great comments. On a Shoestring is a great place to visit and photograph. Thank you induling me with many photos from there.
