In Memory Of
Thought it was a dog tag at first but it is better.
Lots of these on fleabay, some under $5 and others going up to $20-$30.
The company started in 1930 so I assume they started handing these out to their customers around then.
On a few of what I assume are the older ones with ID numbers below 1,000,000 they say " If injured or unable to identify me telegraph this number to the Paul Revere life insurance company".
After they just say notify the company like mine.
I assume the mid 30's to 40's or so, a bit bigger than a quarter at 28mm and some sort of white metal, comes in at a 40-41 tabs on my Fisher so it could be nickel or pewter.
Came in at a 41 on my Fisher which is higher than my 30's nickel numbers but it is way bigger than a nickel too.
Way better than the aluminum key fobs most of us find.
Pics below my worn one is what a better less worn specimen looks like.
Mine could have better details but I have to clean off that thick dirt layer to find out.
Got this out of a lawn I have been hitting all summer, this time with the Red Racer on all metal and the bigger coil.
I have found a lot in this lawn but no good anything has come out of this place for awhile, every once in awhile I hit it again just to see if something cool might pop up and this time something did.
No site is ever hunted out...even by me.
