A word of caution: On ebay at present is listed and shown an original Philadelphia hang tag. You need to magnify the
picture to observe there is no small white (or red) disc between the brass grommet and the tag at the string hole. I have
about 20 tags, plus a good picture of early No. 1025 from ebay several years ago. All I have, on through Utica, have the reinforcement disc, round 1/2-3/4 paper, on both sides. Early ones are red, later are white. Draw your own conclusions.

Give us an item number. One seller is offering "new old stock" tags from many makers, all fake. Don't keep these guys under the rug, expose them.

Same guy has Parker, Smith, Fox tags, all "new old stock". What are the chances?
