Going to the dogs

This 1910 dog tag is rusted because it was buried in the ground for several years. Issued by the town of Seelyville, Ind., this tag is from the private collection of Wayne A. Langman, Terre Haute, Ind. Just imagine — someone’s faithful companion wore this lucky number 13 tag! Even “back in the day,” our domesticated animals needed to be licensed.

The town of Seelyville has several other items in its collection. View them here.

Seelyville is located on U.S. Route 40.
