1916 Illinois vehicle registration - Dashboard Disc

[makton]

I pulled this interesting dashboard disc up this past weekend at an early 1900's farmhouse in Racine, Wi.
Also got a 1906 Injun, Community Plate silver spoon, skeleton key and 6 wheaties in a 3 hour hunt.
Here is the link to the cyberdrive website - 248,400 cars where registered in Illinois in 1916.
Kind of cool.

Thanks for looking,
Makton

Nice finds, Makton! Congrats!!

That's funny! I found one, too. On May 1, not far from the DP River.

That's a cool tag! If it's for a motorized bicycle, I would love to dig one of those. Been obsessed with scooters, motorbikes etc. since growing up in the city. I swept floors and cleaned windows for free, just to be able to hang out at "Mini Bike World" on Harlem Ave. Built a motorbike from a 24" Huffy and own a couple Harley Toppers now.

I found one a while ago, it was one of the first finds I posted at TreasureNet. Here it is again, I'll let it rise to the occasion.

Those tax plates are sweet

Even back then, Illinois folk headed up to Wisconsin for long weekends

Well done!

OK Joe - you win! With a low number like that, yours must have belonged to someone who considered themself a celebrity. I wonder it the SOS sold the low numbers for campaign cash back then like they did (or maybe still do) recently...

Hey Makton, I didn't say it earlier, but nice Indian!!!
