i have been going around with another antique dealer on this subject..and he said they also were pre-credit card...notice the back of the plate...stockton credit plate???? antique dealers argue alot.
the copper colored tag may be a display case tag...

Just the opposite from the front. My book says they were around from 1863-1932.
