Lr Gardiner St. Possibly 1930s – regularly stolen to heel shoes so holes were put in to stop that. Brown with numbers evenly spaced and with 3 holes. Also has initials BSU on it twice.
In the 1930s the Butchers Social Union found themselves faced with a mystery. Their leather bingo cards kept going missing. One day someone noticed that bingo players were stealing the cards to patch holes in their shoes. So the Union decided to stamp several holes in the cards, thus foiling the thieves.
