Dog tag, button and old key

[Nathan W]

Went back to place I got the watch , Indian and silver bracelet . Guess I will keep working the place until I don't get nothing lol the tag is 1955 so it's my oldest. I wish it was earlier but maybe one day I can get an older one.

Nathan W, that tag has so many details! It may have been issued by Dr. Hugh W. Armstrong just 2 years after beginning practice in Monroe.
