Got old dog tags?

[oddcoins]

Found a 1907 E St Louis tag. What is the oldest? St. Louis didn't start issuing until 1904 but I can't find info on E St Louis.

Very cool find!

I have the newest edition of the dog tag book. In there it was 1905 listed as the oldest reported dog tax tag from East St. Louis ILL. 1895 is the oldest from St. Louis, MO.

I found this 1888 dog tag from Redwood Falls, Minnesota and it was the 14th tag issued that year. I had a guy look up in his book that was dated 2020 and apparently the only pre 1900 dog tag recorded as being found from that town is #76 from 1889. Does anyone have a newer book or different information stating what the oldest dog tag is from that town? Thank you,
