Package of 4 Standard Small Sized Galvanized Metal Tags
More Wood, Metal & Metalized tags
We've never seen anything like them! These tags are REAL metal and are galvanized (zinc-coated) silvery metal. The bright and shiny metal is accented by the random star-like pattern that evolves from the galvanizing process.
Each tag measures 3-1/2 inches by 1-5/8 inches - like smaller mailing or identification tags!

Galvanized Tags with wires - Set of 4 Assorted shapes
More Collage & Altered Art Embellishments
SilverCrow's Galvanized Tags are small enough for you to use on any card project, but substantial enough that you can embellish them with just about anything!
The four shapes with wires are elegant enough to be the base for a holiday ornament, but industrial enough to be included in any modern assemblage.
The galvanization process (adding zinc to the base metal) has created a striking random star-like pattern to each tag. We love the assorted reflections in the brushed metal finish.

Tobacco tags were made in all kinds of sizes and shapes. They were made of metal and were used to identify plugs of tobacco, especially tobacco for chewing.
These tags are quite rare as they are die cut into the shape of a stag's head. Many tags from this company are square, round or triangular with a printed image of the stag's head on them.
We are illustrating 2 tags so that you can see the variation in condition. We quite like their chippy look and feel - especially for altered art and jewelry! On either side of the head are points so that the tag could be pressed into the tobacco - on most of the tags, these are already bent backward, but on some they lay flat, ready for bending. Each tag measure 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch and is less than 1/16 inch in profile.
These tags were used around the early 1900s to mark plugs of tobacco - tobacco for chewing. Around that time, it was made by pressing cured tobacco leaves together in a molasses-based or other sweet syrup. This was a hand-on process. Customers would cut, or even bite off, a piece of the plug to chew.

These are really old and might not even be brass. They appear to be, but we didn't want to clean them to be sure. They are much too cool they way they are.
Each tag measures 1-3/8 inch in diameter with a large hole at the top. Some of the tags are numbered on both sides. Some have tons of numbers, seemingly randomly added to the tag. Others have hand-scratched numbers. We're not sure of their origin, but we are sure that they are quite perfect for your steampunk application.
We're showing two of the tags for variation.

Vintage Zinc (?) Numbered Tag - JAHCO
These are really old and might not even be zinc. In fact, we've been arguing about their metal content for so long that we didn't list them as a viable item. But, finally, short of purchasing expensive metal testing equipment, we thought we'd list them anyway!
Each tag measures 1-1/4 inch in diameter with a large hole at the top. a few of the tags are not complete circles, but this makes them even more unique. The tags are all marked with different numbers, and read:
JAHCO
at the bottom. We were unable to find anything about a company or organization with that name, so you can make up your own history for the tags, if you like!
We're not sure of their origin, but we are sure that they are quite perfect for your steampunk application.
We're showing a group of the tags for variation. Please let us choose one for you.

Vintage Horseshoe-Shaped Tobacco Tag

We bought these from someone who declared that her 97-year-old grandfather told her that his mother used to chew tobacco and she saved these horseshoe plug tags.
Tags like these were used to identify the plug manufacturer. Although many such tags bore the name of the tobacco grower or producer, these do not. Most of these are quite rusty. The points bend under to attach them to the tobacco, or of course, to your project! Some of the points are bent backward already, so please be careful - the points are sharp!

Our mini tags measure 2-1/4 inches by 1-1/4 inch.

Brass Dog Bone Tag
More Metal Tags
More Dogs
These are the real thing: Dog Bone Tags that are used for rabies shot tags or doggie ID tags. We thought they'd be great to enhance your artwork or as a clever gift tag for a animal lover. But, our best idea yet (at least we think so) - is to add one to paper sack for those who like to take part of their dinner home - doggie bags!
These are very hard metal and don't lend them selves to letter punches, but you'll easily etch them with a hand engraver - or use a clear matte sticker. And, of course, metal inks and paints will work as well.
Price: 50¢ Each

Heart ID Tag or Bracelet
Our Heart ID Tag is golden metal, with a 3/4 inch x 1-1/4" double heart plaque. The total length is about 6 inches. We like to remove the chain (keep it for another project of course!) and use the plaque as a tag on all kinds of artwork. Alcohol-based inks and dyes work best, but try anything. We've also used metal alphabet punches to indent special terms of endearment on the double heart.

Plain ID Tag or Bracelet
Our Plain ID Tag is golden metal, with a 1/2-inch by 2-inch rectangular plaque. The total length is just over 6 inches. We like to remove the chain (keep it for another project of course!) and use the plaque as a tag on all kinds of artwork.
Or consider using one of these as a gift tag by personalizing it and hanging it over the neck of a bottle of wine. What a special gift.
Alcohol-based inks and dyes work best, but try anything. We've also used metal alphabet punches to indent special messages on the small plaque.

Our small tags measure 3-1/2 inches by 1-5/8 inch.
Black Scratch Tags
Our Black Scratch Tags aren't technically wood or metal: they are actually made of a very strong plastic, coated with a special ink that works like scratch board! You can use any sharp instrument (pin, knife, etc.) to scratch off the black color, revealing a white image. A removable forest green wire is attached to each 1 inch by 4 inch tag.
