Please don’t troll on by, stop and have a look. Trolling doesn’t always have a negative connotation. Fishermen troll the waters while trying to catch fish. Bargain Hunters troll Flea Markets and Yard Sales for terrific finds to take home.

TBT: Metal Driver’s License
Have you ever seen a metal driver’s license? I had never seen one before myself until I started going through my dad’s old photo albums. This particular album had various items my dad saved over the years.
SC Driver’s License
Expires June 30, 1957
According to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, from 1933 to 1957, motorists were required to carry their South Carolina driver’s license on a stamped brass tag, usually carried on a key ring. This required drivers to turn off the ignition to show an officer their license. The brass tags were not used during the time immediately before and after World War II when metals were scarce.
Nornal H. Waters
South Carolina Drivers License
The stamped brass South Carolina Driver’s License Tag included the year of expiration on top, followed by the driver’s name, address, city, & state. On the bottom of the Brass Tag is stamped South Carolina Driver’s License.
My dad’s Brass South Carolina Driver’s License tag was definitely an interesting item for me to discover. I have barely started going through this photo album with the various items he saved over the years. Stay tuned for more interesting discoveries.
God Bless. Thank you for sharing your time and thoughts with me. I appreciate y’all so very much.

Weekend Sky #106 – 2023 July
Soaring through the Clouds:
My grandson kept watching the skies today. He has amazing vision and can see much better than I, so much so he’ll point to where things are in the vast sky when I can only hear and am unable to see. He recognises the sound of airplanes ✈️ and wants me to capture them on camera. Unfortunately I only had the camera on my iPhone today. You’ll need to click on each photo and look closely by zooming, if necessary, to be able to the various images of aeroplanes.
