Not that it couldn't have been lost prior or after that time, but I think it should be a good representative of when it was lost. AKA: Rusty Shackleford

Lets keep this interesting.

I was in an area that was constructed by WPA workers during the Roosevelt years. I found a brass dog tag dated 1942 there. We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.
