Wants

Weird

This "household wants indicator"" was in a museum we visited in Bristol (photo taken through glass, hence the odd reflections).

I don't know from when it dates, but Vim scouring powder came out in 1904 so it's after then. These things come up for auction, probably because there's on in the Downton Abbey kitchen, and the consensus among auctioneers is that they date from the 1920s.

Personally, I'd have glued the indicate for "game"" so it was permanently set, although it probably doesn't mean the kind of game that I do.
