Tobacco Barn Tag

[Michaelangelo]

Know what it is but trying to figure when it was issued. Found on an old fallen in tobacco barn in Guilford County, N.C.
Anyone have any idea?

Well...I learned more about Tobacco today than I EVER thought I would! From Heating Units to heating procedures to curing. Could not find where they issued a "tag permit" but they still do issue permits for Tobacco curing and the number "heating units" you are allowed per permit. I also know whoever stamped the number on that tag almost drove it through the tag. Nice find though.

Hey Mikey!

Keith-TX Yeah they did stamp it pretty hard!! A friend of mine's family owned the land for over 100 years and he said they only cured with wood-no natural gas heaters back then. He was puzzled by the tag-hadn't ever seen it before.
