Researching this dog tag on a military history website, I found that this version of the military dog tag was first issued at the end of 1967 and is thus known as the Vietnam era tag. That is when they were changed from displaying a military service number to displaying the social security number.
The tag is stamped with the following information"
Osborne
Randolph J.
5**-**-***8 (the entire number is present, but I choose not to print it here)
A POS
Protestant
The meaning of the above info is:
Name
Social Security number
Blood type
Religion
Delivery will be via USPS First Class Mail from Arizona. Buyer to pay delivery charges of $4.10.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
