The pawnbroker's balls

Another fill in shot from the Black Country Museum.
Pawnbrokers were identified by the sign of three golden balls.

The story goes that St Nicholas saved three young girls from destitution by loaning them each a bag of gold so they could get married!

I love the sign “Money liberally advanced …”!!! Great shot.

I had an older version of this camera … until I dropped it! 😩😩😩
