Wallet Card at S. Klein

Founded in 1909, S. Klein became one of the largest department store chains in the New York metropolitan area, with a peak of 19 stores, before declining in the 1960s and going out of business in 1975. Now, the only sign that the chain ever existed in Manhattan is on the floor of a doorway on Clinton Street in the Lower East Side.

    Amazing that this is the last sign of S. Klein anywhere in the city-and very cool that you found it. I didn’t even notice the wallet card at first glance.

    I have a beat up Carlton Fisk card i’d consider using for a wallet card..but I never go anywhere interesting. :/
