Ah! My mom had one of those, too! I think the local "Welcome Wagon" (do
those neighborhood greeting people still exist?) gave it to her along with a
small package of other "helpful" household items such as a sprinkler-top
plastic bottle for sprinkling clothes while ironing. Heh. Ironing? This
was in the golden age of polyester and poly/blends (not to mention leisure
suits!). Who the heck was ironing anything? Sure wasn't my mom! That
little coupon-cutter thing worked well, though, and got lots of use.
