    Think back to the 1960's and what people had around them. Where would be good places for advertising in the home.
    A fridge magnet?

    I figured you might say something like that, but it's not.

    You are having trouble as it is a bit like a buggy whip. Not many have a use for them today.

    I've seen some online that had holes in them with a string to hang them up on something.

    I'm tired and going to bed. My brain hurts. HA!

    It's for dialing rotary phones. They made pens that also had a odd head for dialing.

    It's all about the advertising.

    With radio and television the advertising was first then came the programming.

    Those can/bottle openers were around many old phones so you had the number for the plumber. electrician or what ever.

    The world is backwards for sure.
