old nj history 1941

[mad57]

very old 1941 nj clamming liscense found in my own back yard at about 6in with my xlt whites thought it was a penny by signal but i was suprised, a collector buddy told me that nj started these in 1939 to 1941 3 yrs only you wore it on your hat or jacket . he then offered me $150 bucks and hes a cheap guy so gotta be worth closer to $250 but im not selling . im gonna ask our local seaport museum if they would like to display it . so far my best find yet, also in the same yard my first 10k gold filled ring. cool day for a rainy one later mike.

That is an awesome find! I love digging things that relate to local history. One of my favorites is a dog license dug in my own yard. Only 40 years old, but to me it is as good as gold (almost).

That is a great badge for anybody's collection. Tuckerton area sure would be the right place to find something like that! Congrats on finding an unusual one!!!

Here is an neat nickel plated badge I found many years ago near New Gretna. Since than my son found one also, different year, different shape, but still a One Horse BUSS Driver license for Atlantic City.

Great clamming license. That would be a nice addition to the local museum collection.

Nice find mad, I wasn't aware you needed one back then. I always thought it was a free at that time.
