Not your garden variety pull tab

I think they call these "beaver tails." I'm hoping to get an age or era on it to help me date the site it came from....Thanks!

Now that is a pull tab I would put in the good finds box! That's pretty interesting

I've found sooo many of those over the years..

How about a bottle cap that has an extra piece making it look like a baseball cap? I have one I dug in the 80's that's in nice shape.

I found one of those when i was a kid - those are rare
that pulltab might be rare from where he is from ...I get them all over up here
i think that is where the "tab" comes from - the others should be called "pull rings"

Beaver tails are more like the ring type - actual beaver tails are rounded and dont look like that
