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
