Kind of a bummer to have to clean it, but it does look better than it did.
Neat old tags, everyone! I have a couple I will try to dig out later. That 1923 Duluth wore through and fell off on it's own. My dog's did the same after about two years but, it was aluminum, as the modern ones are. The old old steel kind would have taken a bit longer I think. Maybe that gives us an idea how long the Duluth had been on the ground?Fast_Dave said:I only posted my oldest from each city

Very cool ~ THANKS for sharing! The OK (oldest known) tags for Erie County and Cameron County are both dated 1908! The oldest OK tag for all of PA is from Meadville ~ 1875!!
Did you notice that the Erie Co. tag reads 'DOG TAX', but the Cameron Co. doesn't? I've noticed that alot of the PA counties don't mention 'dog tax' nor 'dog license' on the tag! WEIRD!!! I have a 1917 Lancaster Co. "Dog Tax" with no serial number, but my 1945 Allegheny Co. PA tag has a huge serial number #9738, but doesn't mention 'dog tag' nor 'dog license'.
Cool stuff!
