Default harley ownership card

I have a harley ownership card. It was given to me by a dealer when I bought a new harley back in 1968. The card looks like a credit card with my name and serial # of the bike. Does anyone else have this type of card ? Took it to the local harley dealer now and they said they never seen a card like this.

On the card it reads: Harley- Davidson
This certifies that
My Name (stamped)
Owns a Harley-Davidson
Motor No. xxxxxxxx (stamped)
Walter Davidson Vice-President/Sales

Dealership here sends a 5x7 plaque with an icon of the model purchased, vin, date and buyer's name.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't doubt someone, somewhere is willing to pay you for it.

Personally I think it's kind of cool.

Sounds neat but gimmic-y.

It's one of those things that is cool if YOU have it but makes everyone else just a tiny bit jealous, not rage out jealous but just enough that they wish it was them.

I'd hold on to it if I was you.
