So I hit a park that I pounded pretty hard last year in hopes of finding a silver coin or two... I was unsuccessful in the silver search but managed to pull a 1922 Chicago Vehicle Tax tag from about 10-12 inches down. I've attached a pic I found on the google as well as a pic of my find! Hope ya'll had a good day digging n thanks for looking!

It appears that in those early days of automobiles states had some very odd tags.This one issued for a car having 35 horse power or less is awesome. Great find there.

Hello Army Joe. Nice one! Never seen one with the HP indicated. I think you were supposed to nail those to the floor board of the vehicle. Good luck and HH. C9
