1916 Illinois motor vehicle tag

[makton]

Was up in Racine, Wi this weekend and got permission to hunt an early 1900's farm house.
Only had about 3 hours of hunt time but pulled out a few goodies that includes 6 wheats, 1906 Injun, silver Communiyt Plate spoon(now Oneida), skeleton key but the most interesting find was a 1916 Illinois motor vehicle registration tag or dashboard disc.

Illinois started registering vehicles in 1907 with 12,000 cars and by 1916 there where 248,00 registered vehicles in Illinois.
