I used those keypunch cards in my undergraduate thesis to record data in the 
mid 80's. I still have one clump of them that were not used. They hold 
braille beautifully. I wish I could get more!

My mom was a key punch operator way back then.  I remember them well.  I was 
just a kid!

Yes, I remember them. My mom had one and I thought it was really pretty.

I wish I knew what this years trendy new holiday craft is.
