Juke Box Table Song Selector

Long before restaurants and Diners had piped in music, there was the song selector that was mounted on the table tops next to the salt, and pepper shakers.  The usually had a sugar shaker also, but the one in the photo was being used by someone else.  The nickels, dimes and quarters patiently await their turn to make some music.  In the 1950s, I remember all the Diners had them. Sometimes, when you had finished eating, and your song hasn’t played yet, you hung around until after everyone else’s song had played, so you can hear yours.

They were ahead of their time.  It was kind of like a remote controller!
