Colorado sales tax coin, 1941 dog tag, and a whatisit

[frogginfish]

Went to my dad's house today. We went searching for his wedding ring he had lost some time ago. He doesn't remember the exact location so we have been all over his property. While looking around an old house he had bought adjacent to his property, we found some interesting items.

The Colorado sales tax coin looked at first like an aluminum plug until I cleaned it a little, then I thought it was an old script token. Turns out that those tokens were issued between 1935 and 1945 when Colorado began having a 2% sales tax.

The dog tag is from 1941. It has a hole punched right next to the "1" so its hard to tell. Not sure if there is a way to find any information from the registration number on it.

The last (not really the last but nothing special about the clad dime...lol) is an unknown piece. If anyone has any sort of clue as to what it could be, feel free to let me know! LOL
My dad was telling me that around the early 1900s there used to be livery there so not sure if it could be something that relates to horses....?

If your Dad could remember where he lost his ring, it would not be lost would it?---Old joke, just had to throw it in! Good Hunt, good luck, and ENJOY the time with Dad!

Haha! I guess you would be correct....he really enjoyed swinging the detector around. It was good times.

Those Colorado tax tokens really get around. I found one just like yours in Washington, DC, a couple months back. Anyhow, nice finds! Like the dog tag.

That's crazy! I found one of those Colorado tax tokens a few months ago in the Texas Panhandle on an old Army Air Base. Outstanding! Can't help with the buckle tongue. The Dog Tag is real cool! Hang in there,that gold is on its way!! Good hunting!!
