    Found a Cool Dog Tax Tag

    I went out this past weekend. I didn't find a lot, but I did dig a cool 1926 Dog tax tag.
    I love that the tag itself is in the shape of 26.

    That is a cool one!!
    Dog tax tag are one of my favorite things to dig up!
    I haven't found too many that the tag itself looks like something, or is shaped like something. Like Jeff says it's got a lot going for it!
    Congrats Donny!
