These tags were a gift item called “DAV tags” and were distributed by the Disabled American Veterans organization between the 1940s-1970s.

They measure about an inch long and had a car’s license plate number, state of registration, and year of registration printed on the front. The back stated, “Postage Guaranteed. Finder – deposit any mailbox. Disabled American Veterans National Headquarters, Cincinnati 6, Ohio” (Regardless of which state the car was registered in, the mailing address was DAV headquarters in Cincinnati). This way should the holder loose their car key, hopefully it would be returned to them safely and the DAV would also secure a well- deserved donation from the recipient.

There are over (40) various tags in the lot along with a Ponca City Oklahoma Masonic Building Button.
