What's your oldest Dog Tax/license Tag you have ever found?

I was just curious if these are collectable and out of curiousity was wondering if people find really old ones. Please post the year of the tag and the place it was issued.

Post a picture also if you can for all to see.

I haven't found any real old ones, but did pick up two from 1954 in different sides of town.

I don't have a picture but I found one from 2012, one from 2000 and one from circa 1948. I'll try to take better pictures of them and post them.

My oldest is from Abilene, KS and is a 1909. I thought I had a picture I could use of it but can't find it so I will need to take another one when I get home from work.

Here is a picture I have of my dog tags in a display case. I will take a close up later today.

Here's some of mine.......



My oldest (Top left) is 1881/82 and the second from the left is 1882.
The second one really made my day because of what's on the back.
You see, half of my tags (earlier dates) have C.L.P. on them, which I assumed stood for "Canine License Permit" (or something like that) but never could prove they were dog tags until you see the back of the second tag.......



The front reads
"C.L.P.
78
1882"

Great thread and tags everyone!

Couple of years ago I found a City of Detroit dog tag dated 1905 and it had space for only 3 numbers- up to 999. Now in Detroit there are thousands of dogs.

I think dog license are a 'great find' and don't get enough recognition.
I need to dig mine out and take a pic. I have maybe a dozen dating from 1909 until the late 40's.

The pre-1900 tags would go for ca. $300 each, would you be interested in letting one or more go?
