Never surprised by the goodies Mr. Senior brings out of the ground!

Is that perhaps Lee Willert's dog tag from an early tour? Maybe his name is on some local muster roles going back 150 years or so. Might check some genealogical records on that one!

(Number on back of "Lee Willert" silver could be a phone number from 1950's & earlier)

Might want to look up someone versed in old military dog tags. US military did not adopt any standards for id tags until WWI and even then it was very unlike the modern incantation. The standard then adopted called for a round tag about half dollar size with name rank and regiment number on it.

The official switch to using SSN on tags was in the 1960's I believe. The current shape had been in use for some years already at that time.

It's a phone number. My parents still had their old phone "JU-7-####" on the wall into the 1970's.

fyi: There is a Lee Willert listed in Schaumburg, which would have included the NI-7 (647) phone numbers from back then, when we were all under the Chicago 312 area code.
