steel ss# card

[jon43]

i did not know were to post this but after some thought i would post it here. i was digging in a old bottle dump years back and found a steel SS# card#406-01-7186. and the name on it was Lawrence Roland Owens. i did look it up on the SS web site. and found out he was born in 1919, Nov 25th and died in 1962. i have looked up on grave yards and kygenweb and other sites but could find nothing about him. i just know that he was issued his SS# in KY. i dug it in bowling green , KY. i was going through my find and the last few night looking on the web trying to find some thing about him , i just would like to know if he had kin and if they would want it for a keep sake. thanks for any help

You might check the county tax rolls. If he owned property when he died, someone would have to pick up the taxes, usually wife or children. Monty

thank you Monty. i will do that. in that dump i found bottles from the 1800 on up to the present and old hotel dish's and it made me think that this was a old hotel that he might have worked for. thanks again

I've never messed with any of them, but there are some good genealogy sites on the web, you might give one of those a shot... I just wanted to check in to see if it was one of the cards I had lost through the years...
Good luck with your quest, & Happy hunting~

Hope you succeed with your mission. I have one of those ss cards too. This one was my grandfather's. Good shape for as old as it is.

i don't really know how old the card would be i think FDR started ss#. i don't know if the gov ever issued a steel one? i take that back i think some one post that they were issued a steel one in the army.

Actually I have one and I can remember my Mom in the 60's ordering it for me...only it was made by some company then that was associated with social security....not sure who....Good luck to you.

I had one too. Looks familiar. I think mine was different.
Those old restarant dishes could be valuable.

i have not been on here in awhile. thanks for the reply.i have not been on the computer to much but its time to get off my butt and do some detecting and some searching to try to find these people who are kin to theses others who had this card and tag

they use to sell them in the sunday paper way back in the day or rather you could order one from an add,the cost was like five bucks for a stainless card.
nice find,good luck in trying to return it.
