New Hope for the Zurich Thrift Stores

Note: I wrote this post in April, since then, it was buried in the Drafts.

I've visited the thrift store a couple of times since then, and there were always some typewriters.

Location: Badenerstrasse 415, Zürich. Trams 2/3 to Albisriederplatz or 2 to Letzigrund.

What's the use oft this card?

Does anybody know what this little card was used for? It's as big as a credit card, the front is coated, the patterns are not really exact. Was it a stencil? Who has got a clue? (scan: the black stuff is just background.)

I didn't even notice that I had inserted the wrong way.
