Hartland tag
Hi Ben:
YEP! you've got a real one there. The string is one of the best ID's, the originals all have a "twisted" type of string while others of the repro's have a more herring bone type of string or a different color. Most tags come with both red and tan string with the latter released statues only coming in tan or so I have observed.
Also the fadedness and the look of the tag is seen in many of the originals after being exposed to light for many years.
Another telltale sign on SOME originals are little "tit" like "chads" that can appear in up to three places on the outside rim of the tag that came from when the tag was "punched out" of a sheet.
I have other statues, tags and boxes if you are looking for others let me know what you are looking for via a private message.
