Bumper Tag, anyone?

Hi All,

Feels pretty good to have something new to post, and especially this one, because I found something cool that I can't identify and get to involve all of you on Tnet. Its good to be back!

Does anyone collect old automobile bumper tags, or know of a source online that I can look through to i.d. one? I dug this in a vacant lot where I've found coins dating to the 30's. E-Bay has one or two that look similar in style and lettering to this one ($2.75 last time I checked), but so far I haven't found a match. I'm pretty impressed with the condition and my guess is that it hasn't been underground for very long. Probably in someones garage until it got chucked. Any ideas?
