I had one when I was young. I would say they were popular up into the late 60's early 70's maybe. Could be older.

Mine is very similar to the one in the picture, but still different hopefully, someone will come up with a better estimate

When I was a kid in the 1970's, my dad had these and a machine to punch the numbers and letters on them. He taught me how to do it. I punched them for him. They had all kinds of pictures on them.

Privately-purchased metal Social Security cards appeared fairly soon after the first Social Security numbers began to be issued late in 1936. For example, here's a link to a design patented by Edward Sonin in 1938:

I don't mean to steal this thread but i noticed something on my original SS card. On the very bottom it reads

"Not to be used for identification"

Kind of ironic that SSN's are the number one identifier in this country.
