The City of Chicago started issuing license plates in 1903 or so, before IL did, after IL started doing License Plates the city started requiring vehicles to register and pay a tax, a small medallion was provided which was to be affixed to the dashboard of the vehicle.
A 1918 from my collection. Only about an inch and a half long.
I have about 40 of them but Hartung had an almost complete run of City of Chicago vehicle tax tags, including many types that I have never seen anywhere else.
Here are some of them in License plate frames at the Hartung auction.
He had the only 1931 City of Chicago Truck Tax tag that I have ever seen and I would like it very much for my '31 Truck. I have a '27, '28 and a couple '30s but no '31.
Here is a '30 out of my collection.
So I'll have to wait hope to find one at some point.
