Spindle

A thin metal spike attached to a solid base, a spindle holds bills, orders, and other documents in one place as people spear the papers onto the spike. Once used commonly in offices, restaurants, and similar places where people needed to quickly stick a document where it won’t slip or blow away, spindles have largely been replaced by digital systems, or with considerably less dangerous clips where paper is still necessary. This spindle is designed for mounting on a wall.
