Detroit to Winnipeg brass railroad baggage check tag

[ezod]

Found in a back yard near the Detroit River in Windsor. The house dates to the first decade of the 20th century, but the tag is a bit older: S.P.M.&M. only operated from 1879 to 1889 under that name.

The full route:

• Michigan Central
• Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific
• Burlington, Cedar Rapids, and Northern
• Minneapolis and St. Louis
• St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Manitoba
• Canadian Pacific
