Florida vehicle tag found at OLD abandoned jailhouse

[Sundancer]

I found this tag in the yard of an old jailhouse here in north Florida. The jail dates to 1926 I believe and was in use until the late '60's or so.. It's aluminum. I have NOT been able to find info on anything like this and am hoping someone here may be able to help.
Thanks in advance!

From the "what its worth" department, I have found three of those for the state of Georgia. Mine all have years on them and are from the early 1930s. I would have to date yours at the same time frame.

The timeframe makes sense to me. Thank you for that info!

BTW Six, I think we'd have no probs getting permission to continue there. As far as I'm concerned, after 42 years in Arizona, this FL summer is like Springtime..I've detected in 116F ( call me a fool.. but I'm a happy fool ) :-) Let's ask!!??!!
