Prague Back in the Day

In the old days of Prague, the buildings weren't numbered. Instead, people would carve or place statues over their doorways to let the public know what kind of business they were in. On Nerudova Street, a small alley at the footsteps of the Prague Castle, many of the buildings still bear the symbols of their trade from back in the day! Can you guess what these people did for a living?...





These people made and sold violins to Beethoven!!
Jaime's old doorway would have had a pile of beans over it (bean counter), but her new doorway will just have piles of cash on top (GE Money). Web's doorway would have featured carvings of a laptop and a pill.
