I found this "check/time tag" at a spot that I have been metal detecting. I just researched a little about the company, Carnegie Steel Co. Homestead Works. I wish there were a way to find out whose check this is. Would anyone have any ideas how I might do that? The front of the check reads Carnegie steel Co. Homestead works with the number 32311, a M in a circle, and smaller 2 under the main numbers. On the back it reads, "loss of this check should be reported to time department immediately a charge of fifty cents will be made if lost or not returned on leaving the services of this company"

I googled the company, very old, much history about the Homestead Works branch of the Carnegie Steel Co.
Homestead Strike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thanks for the reply, I like Tokens/tags almost as much as I like silver. I think I might contact the Carnegie library in Homestead Pa and see if they might be able to help find who was this employee?
