Wow! Those are both very interesting finds. I had no idea what to expect when you were talking about a copper license. It's pretty neat. What all does it say?

The Lone Ranger Token came with Merita Bread back in the early 50's. ( For the Kids, Lone Ranger Club ) The television show about the Lone Ranger was sponsored by Merita Bread.

Please tell me what the N.C. License says on it...I can only read part of it..THANKS

Okey Dokey, I have researched and can't find that at any time N.C. had a metal Drivers License of any sort. I am from North Carolina and I can only remember back to paper license which was a long time ago.
I believe it to be a chauffers license. Those and Cab license were issued in a metal form to be kept in the vehicle.
