1930's brass Social security card.

[BLACKIE555]

1930's brass social security card (aftermarket, not government issued I understand) found in the yard of our local historical society ....sadly, Mr George Goss passed many years ago and his family line as well. I nearly didn't bother digging this, it was practically on the surface. .. and I nearly pitched it as it appeared to be a blank tag of scrap.

Those a neat novelty items. They were produced by various companies, and are not real SS cards. They are still being made today.

Replacement Social Security Cards, New Medicare Card, metal social security cards, vanity cards

back in the late 70's there used to be a guy at our local flea market that made those. I remember ads for the set up to make them in the back of magazines.

I remember a friend of mine got one of these when he opened a bank account.... We're probably 13 or 14 he was showing it off... It was painted very patriotically love it thank you.

Thank you. We researched the gentleman with the hopes we could return it to him or his family but to no avail. He worked in our community in the late 30s at the telephone exchange... Then moved away. Glad we could save him and remember his story in our historical society.
