Not really impressive to look at but are considered confederate plates. Hooks are gone on both.

Both are exactly 3.25 x 2.25 inches. You can see a solder mark on the top one for the hook. Strange that both were found at street construction. The top one was found when they re did the brick streets on the square in Tyler, Texas and the other was found when they re did a street in downtown Longview, Texas.
