ISALC ~ International Society of Animal License Collectors ~ is always wanting to update our O.K. (Oldest Known) tag list for every City, Township, County, and State.

PLEASE feel free to e-mail me if you have old dog tags (not military ID tags) ~ I can check the list to see if you're holding the O.K. tag (send along pictures)! Or, e-mail me and I can tell you the O.K. tag for a certain area.

Sorry, our list isn't "on-line".

PS,
all O.K. are not necessarily that old. Some towns are so small that we have NO tags reported for them. We wanna know about ALL areas.

YEAH!! That's what I'm talkin' about! SO COOL!! I'll trade tokens/coins/jewelry for tags anyday!

I looked up Van Wert Ohio ~ their oldest known tag is 1918! OK man. . . . now get out there and dig one earlier than 1918! LOL

Thanks for sharing!

WOW ~ very cool!

The 1905 Mena Arkansas tag is the oldest known for that town. The oldest known tags in Arkansas are dated 1887 ~ from Little Rock and Alma. SO COOL!

Very cool ~ THANKS for sharing! The OK (oldest known) tags for Erie County and Cameron County are both dated 1908! The oldest OK tag for all of PA is from Meadville ~ 1875!!

Did you notice that the Erie Co. tag reads 'DOG TAX', but the Cameron Co. doesn't? I've noticed that alot of the PA counties don't mention 'dog tax' nor 'dog license' on the tag! WEIRD!!! I have a 1917 Lancaster Co. "Dog Tax" with no serial number, but my 1945 Allegheny Co. PA tag has a huge serial number #9738, but doesn't mention 'dog tag' nor 'dog license'.

Cool stuff!

Had another one that I had to clean up because it had too many blisters on it.
Kind of a bummer to have to clean it, but it does look better than it did.
