I found this Tag in the back yard of the OLD house. to me it looks to be a V.I.N. tag off a old car??
maybe...

Car. That would have been my second guess too

 

[morris]

ok I had another person say it was from a telephone pole tag. asked a co-worker that has lived in the area all his life and is old enough to remember/owen a car in 1953 he said NOPE that is not for a car tag...he also said it looks to have came off a telephone pole tag..

Looks to me like an early way to validate the current year on a car license plate. You have to remember, they didn't have stickers back in 1953! I was there! JIM

Jim,
ok so I'll take you up that and call it a car tag. I just never seen one before now
not even at the OLD car shows in my area.. thanks for your help and info.

Don't take what I said as gospel, I am only guessing after all I was there, but only in 3rd grade! JIM

Jim beat me to it. It looks like the replaceable year plate for a car license plate.

 

[vwayne1]

Thats exactly what it is. I have found many . The big numbers are the year. The little numbers are the id number for the tag, just like the new stickers. Look at your plates, there pretty much the same, just paper.

 

[Monty]

Well, I finally got one! JIM

 

[morris]

OK cool and Thank you all for your great help on this ... I'll add it to my treasure box.. maybe one day it maybe worth something..

Thanks again

It's probably worth something now to someone who has a classic 1953 Automobile. But it would be worth more to me as a memory. JIM

Jim,

I am not looking to sale it i am going to add it to my treasure box and when my boys get old enough to understand it ..i'll show it to them.. I never sale anything I find if it is worth keeping to show them the REAL History of life that is something not even BOOKS and MOVIES and show them.
again Thank you all for your GREAT help...
