I found this beautiful 1912 dog licence during a 3 hour cellar hole hunt. Age-wise, it did not beat my 1906 dog licence, but it definitely is more attractive than it.

Wow was this a water find? Or is it just heavily gilted?
 

too bad its got a white splotch across it, kinda takes away from its charm, IMO
 

I really like finding the old dog tax tags. It's hard to believe they even taxed you for a dog back then. Some of the early ones with single digits are worth some coin. A lot of guys collect them. Usually numbers below ten bring the best prices with number one being the best.

Great find in my book !!!
 

Nice digs and thank you for sharing those pictures
