Oldtime pricing!!

Found on/in a derelict wooden building which was, presumably, a barbers shop.

I am quite amazed that the string has lasted so long. This wasn't just yesterday. In my location a haircut alone is commonly $14.00. Nice capture.

Many thanks for your comments. Sorry Bob I can't provide the provenance of the 'string' or whatever it is. And I can't obtain a haircut where I live for $14.00 And you're lucky too Chuck and James.

Thanks for the information Angela, has the history anything to do with the fictional character Sweeny Todd?
