I saw this sign in the window of an antique store in Orange County.

However before you wax nostalgic for the good old days, 14 cents a dozen for eggs calls for a little perspective.  I’m guessing that the sign came from the 1930’s or 40’s when the minimum wage was about $0.50 an hour.  So a low wage worker would have had to work about 15 minutes to buy a dozen eggs.  Today a dozen eggs cost about $1.20 and the minimum wage is about $8.00.  So now-a-days the same low wage worker would have to work only about 10 minutes to buy a dozen eggs.

The sign is for sale for about $100.00
