Lot 447:
A Trio of Vintage Pennsylvania and Ohio Hunting and Fishing Licenses and Back Tags, 1975-1981
Description
This trio of vintage sporting licenses and back tags belonged to a single individual and covers the years 1975 to 1981. The collection includes a 1975 Pennsylvania Non-Resident Hunter back tag license, number 56206; a 1979 Ohio Special Deer Hunting Permit, number 212002; and a 1981 Largemouth Bass fishing license tag, number N0043398. Each license is housed in a period-appropriate clear plastic display holder equipped with a metal safety pin for garment attachment. One holder is embossed with the brand name IDEAL HOLDER. The 1975 Pennsylvania license features printed text instructing the user to display on middle of back. The 1979 Ohio permit contains a merchant stamp from Dover Hardware Volume Value Center located at 102 South Wooster Ave, Dover, Ohio, and is accompanied by a fluorescent orange-red backing card. The 1981 fishing tag includes a graphic illustration of a jumping bass. All three documents are signed in blue ink by the licensee, Terry L. Sweeny (surname spelling inferred from multiple signatures).
Condition report:
The items are in good vintage condition with evidence of expected field use. The paper licenses show age-related toning, some foxing spots, and minor crinkling. The clear plastic holders exhibit significant yellowing and some brittleness consistent with age. The metal safety pins are intact with minor surface oxidation.
