Default Cow and sheep tags

Do you have any idea where i can find values for such items? They are dated and some have the owners name on them. Any info would be appreciated.



Thanks!

Default Cattle Tags

RUSTY, Go to the main e-bay screen and type in the search bar: Weaver Leather show tags, Cattle Tags, Sheep Tags or Equine. Seems as though they are selling for a pretty good price. I'll try to let you know something further sometime today...PAPPY

RUSTY, If you are an e-bay member, why don't you put a couple of the tags up for auction under (Collectables) and see how they do. NEVER KNOW. I'm having a hard time finding an outlet for these tags other than Auctions and Flea-Markets. My friend in Oak Hill W.Va. is having a hard time finding out any information but as soon as he does I will let you know...PAPPY
