a meat key for a old hobart scale, or some other type scale, we used to use them up to around 1978
Or rather that was when I started using hobarts & other type scales that didn't need them anymore.
lot of people called them slugs
Correct. We used them until about 1982-83 in my store. It really sucked when someone knocked over the board that held the slugs and you would have to put them all back. In order. In addition to changing slugs, you also had to reset tare and price for each time you went from one item to another.
Here's a closer look at the printing part of the slug.
