Show Your Dog Tax Tags!

Love old dog tags, these I got this past year. Like to see others and what's your oldest so far. Mine was the 1901, sold it to a collector though.

I just found these two today. I think the rectangular one is a 1926 the badge looking one is 1935. My oldest ones so far.

I've got a couple of campers over at Greenwood Acres, we hit Missy's every now and then. I think I've hit every park in your area. Good tags

1950 is my oldest so far hey, it's the best I can do

I like the dog house ones even if more modern.

Even found an "assistance dog" tag at the lake awhile back.

Here are mine.....Oldest is 1929. The farthest traveled is one from Washington state. That puppy came a long way LOL.

These are awesome to find, and everyone seems to have a nice variety. Here are two I found at an old homesite. I have another from the 40s but it’s in very poor shape.

Here’s mine - the vast majority are from my own county, ranging across a full century (1919 through 2018). It’s interesting to see the changes in materials used within my own county over time, starting with a nickel alloy in 1919, and then bouncing back and forth between aluminum and brass over the years. Unfortunately, the tags are all pretty bland (imagine that in Ohio! ) except for one from 1928 that got all fancy with some tick marked beading around the edges! At some point a few years ago I actually took a bunch to the county auditors office - they handle dog licensing here - to see if they still had records associated with any of the tags. Although they were fascinated by the tags, they were sad to report they don’t keep records beyond about 10 years.

The one tag from North Carolina was from a hunt I did in that state a couple years ago, so no long distance dog travel involved there!

I’ve found quite a few. This one is my oldest. 1878.

Chatting with a few dog tax tag collectors, that beauty you have is very desirable, its pre 1900 and has a unique design.
