1. A label holder for attachment to a scanner hook assembly, wherein the scanner hook assembly includes at least a scanner hook having a proximal end and a distal end, mounting means on the proximal end of the scanner hook for mounting the scanner hook assembly on a supporting surface with the scanner hook cantilevered forwardly from the supporting surface, and support means on the distal end of the scanner hook for a label holder, said label holder comprising an upper clip portion and a lower label-receiving portion, said clip portion including attaching means for removably securing said label holder to the support means of the scanner hook assembly in a substantially fixed, non-rotatable, relationship with respect to the support means, and a hinge element interconnecting said clip portion to said label-receiving portion of said label holder to permit said label-receiving portion to be moved between a first position in which it depends from said clip portion under the influence of gravity and a second position in which it extends at an angle with respect to said clip portion, said hinge element formed of a flexible material, the flexibility of said material controlled vis-a-vis the combined weight of said label-receiving portion and a label carried thereby to retain said label-receiving portion in said second position against the influence of gravity until said label-receiving portion is manually moved.
