Hey gang

As some may know, I work for a pharmaceutical company.  As part of a
patient awareness boosting program, they have huge posters of patients
attached to the side of some buildings.  As I was walking out of a building
I used to work in years ago, I noticed a hammer head showing through the
window.  I looked more closely, and saw the wedge of a wooden molding plane.

Went outside to take a pic.  This is a two story+ tall poster.

Kinda fun to see your hobby show up at work.

Cool poster
   The old tools at work part, then pharmacy??
Reminded me,........
         I have 2 of Milts pill counting spatulas.
60 years a druggist. He started when there were no classes in pharmacy 
at all. He started his career sweeping the floor inside the great 
Stadtler hotel. Little by little the old druggists brought him in.

There was a lot more work in the those days. Compounding prescriptions 
according to the doctors recipe.  Custom orders.
  But still and always, mostly about counting pills from big bottles 
into little bottles. And not making mistakes that can kill people with 
the wrong pills or dosage!

   The druggists counting spatula is his main hand tool in life.
   Nothing else comes close for more daily use.
They still use them anywhere drugs (the legal prescription variety) are 
sold.

Guys find them sometimes, and then a big discussion over what they are, 
usually ensues.
    They wouldn't mean anything to anyone else I'm sure.
  But they are dear to me. Reminds me of my old friend.
       yours Scott

Crap. You are right. Wonder if that is his, or it came out of the prop shop.

Good eyes.
