Outlaw finds a mystery

[Rick in Pa]

Was out with the Outlaw yesterday. Hunted the older part of the ball field. Pulled out a wheatie 1936. Other coins were newer. Also found a dog tag. Had a father and sons name ( jr and sr) address and phone number. The phone number was listed as CR2-XXXX instead of 272-XXXX. I remember this when I was a kid back in the 50's and early 60's. it is still very shiny. Found Jr's name in the phone book at a different address. Tried calling but did not get an answer. Would like to return it to him and get the story behind it. Will post a picture after I contact him

I remember as a kid the telephone numbers would be CR2-xxxx and it would be pronounced Crestview2-XXXX. Still trying to get hold of the guy to get the story behind the tag.
