Any dog tax tag diggers? Got a pretty one last night! North Laurel, Maryland

[DFW_THer]

Hey folks,
Had a good day in North Laurel yesterday. Scored a beautiful dog tax tag. 1912 with a “3 over 2” overpunch. Found it about 7” with my M6.
1 IH – 1884
1 Rosie – who cares about the date
1 V nickel – 1912 (I think)
Handful ‘o wheats

More to come!

Thanks for looking. Have a great day!

You know, I had no idea dog tags went back so far until coming to this forum. I've found recent ones, but nothing that old. I doubt if they even issued them before WWII in my county. The 1912 is way cool!

I have found several old dog tags through the years and they are always fun. I have been lucky enough to return a couple and there is usually a pretty good story that goes along with the return. That one is definitely and oldie. Congrats on the tag and all your other finds !!!

Thanks for the compliment! I don't think old Rover is missing his tag though..

Love digging those, that one's sweet.
And old.
I can't count the number of brain cells I um, misplaced going to concerts at the old Capitol Center in Laurel.
Wait, I meant Landover.
See what I mean?
I can't even remember where I lived in Prince Georges County!
What the hell did I do in Laurel?

These are all so awesome! My oldest is 1955. I have the one issued from the Oak Ridge Veterinary clinic, which is still in business with the city dog tax tag still attached. I find these especially interesting because I have worked for a veterinarian for the past 14 years. The clinic these tags were issued from is located not far from the one I work at. Love this post! Yall have a great night!
