A Colorado Opera House Coat Check Tag

[PikesPeakCharlie]

My brother showed up ,took me out to breakfast for my birthday (51st) and then we went detecting up in the creek. It wa a slow day ,but very warm and relaxing. Annnd , the ground decided to give me a birthday present ! I dug this octagon,brass tag from "The Grand Pueblo Colo ", The Grand Opera House was built in 1890 at the corner of 4th & Main , it was destroyed by fire on Mar,1,1922. I've included a pic I found of it. I wonder how many of these tags survived the fire ? I found mine about 50 miles away from where it originated. HH to all.

According to Deep Purple, they ended up at the Grand Hotel, it was empty, cold, and bare... That is an awesome piece of American West history, congrats! Sub
