Yes, the Garvey Labelmatic embossed into the handle refers to one of those gun looking thingys that printed and applied price tags to everything in the supermarket. When the price changed up or down, this was the tool Garvey supplied for removing the old price sticker, probably for free.

It's a clever device, sharp enough to get under the sticker but not quite sharp enough to cut you or the product. Light weight, cheap to make, and pretty ergonomically designed for it's day... feels good in the hand.
