This is a 1958 Decorah, Iowa bicycle license tag (also called a bicycle license plate or bike tag).
What it is:
• Shape and material: A small, shield-shaped metal tag (likely aluminum or similar lightweight metal) with stamped/engraved text.
• Text:
• 1958 (the year)
• DECORAH (the city in northeast Iowa, Winneshiek County)
• 175 (the individual license/registration number for that year)
• BICYCLE LICENSE (its purpose)
These tags were issued by many U.S. cities and towns from the late 1800s through the mid-20th century (and sometimes later). Owners paid a small fee to register their bike, and the tag was typically attached to the frame, handlebars, or a bracket for identification and theft prevention. It also helped enforce local bicycle ordinances (like rules on lights, bells, or riding on sidewalks).
