Well done on the latest tag (by far the nicest)
I'm also drawn to the town's name-very cool.

Awesome dog tag! Mr, oddcoins in the “got old dog tags” thread can tell you if it’s the oldest known Cripple Creek tag. At 1898 there’s a decent chance!

Thanks Squirrel, I have been talking to him on a Facebook page. He is a very nice gentleman and is sending me copies of the Colorado dog tags, to share with my local metal detecting group!! There was a 1895, the town started in 1894, hopefully I'll find one, if they even made them that year.
