So, I watched this old episode of "Mr Ed" (a horse is a horse, of course, of course) and in the episode, Wilbur's neighbor, Rodger refers to a "charge plate" and in one scene, Rodger's wife has to hand over the "charge plate" to Rodger.
This is the first time I heard of such a thing as a "charge plate", but reasoned, they were precursors to the plastic credit cards.
I like watching old shows to see how things were back then
