Nothing but a lousy dog tag!

[Noah]

A little road trip with Don yielded only one silver but I did manage an 1883 dog tag!!

Oops, sideways again! Got to give something for Daddy Digger to complain about LOL! Anyways maybe the moderator can fix it for me.
Always hoped I could find one of these from the 1800s but never expected to get number 13! Is that bad luck so close to Halloween?

Sorry I broke my phone and I’m learning how to use a new one. Pictures will be better next time. Got what looks like a gilded pewter button, is your first license, and another pewter pendant that I have not identified yet. What a fun day!

Here are a couple of photos I took in the field

Nice finds. Love that tag! Guessing #13 would have only been unlucky if the dog were still attached! LOL

That has to be the Oldest dog tag I have ever seen posted. Congrats on the unique find. I know the "loust dog tag" was tongue and cheek but that is a great find. WD

Awesome dog tag and 1800's are rarely seen found. Congrats! :perfect10:

That dog tag is amazing, Tim! I've never seen on like it! It must be very rare.

The 1935 chauffeurs license is pretty cool too!

:congrats:

Thanks all. Been hoping for an 1800s TAG. It's my favorite find for 2019. Might make my favorite EVER. :groovy:

[Bucknut]

Yeah that is an amazing dog tag! Very very cool!

Those are some pretty good finds Noah but I think the tag is an amazing find. Not just because of the age but I swear that dog is wearing pearls! :coffeelaugh:

[OxShoeDrew]

That's the oldest I've seen as well. I think my oldest is 1916. Nice assortment fo other goodies too! Congrats!!

That tag is just a great find!

great old tag :perfect10:

[Noah]

You noticed that too?!! Perhaps they are suppose to be spikes as it's a big mean looking dog on that tag!! Love to know the artist who designed it.

I would love to find a dog tag from the 1800's. Those are very rare and highly sought after by dog tag collectors. Great find! :perfect10:

That is a great tag! You should contact Bill Bone in Kentucky about this, he is the foremost expert on 19th Century dog tags and has published a guide book for them. He helped me with historical information on both of my old tags from Milwaukee (1876) and Minneapolis (1885).
