Votan "Super Sole" Mark-up Finder

7/24/2018

 
We had another new wheel in our mailbox today: the Votan Mark-up Finder. We've seen these types of profit meter-type wheels before, so there's nothing too interesting about that.

What I like is the reverse side of this wheel. It features the outline of a cow hide and the sole of a shoe lovingly caressing said hide to his bosom. And it's not even just the cow hide. It's the entire logo he's clutching.  I think he looks more like a hot dog than a shoe sole, though.

​The Super Sole was "Commended by the Consumer Services Bureau of Parents' Magazine as Advertised Therein". The wheel proudly bears the seal of said commendation.

This guy is 4 inches across and in excellent condition. The internet speculates that this was from the 50s, which seems about right.
