    Description

    A fellow collector asked me to make him a Social Security keychain tag for his collection so I dug out the machine. It has been a few years since I made any of these tags, so I thought I would make a few more and put them on eBay.
    This is a 1940 New Jersey license plate keychain tag made with an original blank NJ tag and frame. It has green printing on a black plastic tag like the original plates. See the photos for details and condition.
    The machine is from the 1930’s and the tag supplies that came with it were from the 1940-41 era.
    This tag was made with a special heat and pressure stamping machine that I bought years ago along with some plate blanks (New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey), colored tape for printing, and the frames as seen below. The slugs used in these tags had deteriorated so I made cardboard slugs and added a dark blue plastic piece to the back. I have included some photos below of the machine and the process so you can see how this tag was made. There was a bit of work involved! Please contact me if you have any specific questions about this item.
    Shipping within the United States will be by First Class Postage wrapped with cardboard to protect it during shipment. If you purchase multiple fixed price items from my store, I will send a refund with your order for all excess postage paid when I ship the items. If you win multiple items on regular auctions, just wait for an updated invoice with combined shipping.
