Railroad luggage tag?

 

[BigWaveDave]

Railroad luggage tag?

Agreed

 

[nhbenz]

Me too. If I've read correctly the Kansas Pacific hooked up with the Colorado Central in 1870, then in 1890 the Colorado Central was renamed as the result of being purchased, so that would I think give the time range of your tag... but a second set of eyes on the facts and such is never a bad idea.

 

[sliverslave]

Sweet, got that one off the list 😀thanks for your input

 

[xr7ator]

Cool tag, Slaver!

 

[nhbenz]

Taking another look, again if I've read correctly, the Kansas Pacific became part of Union Pacific (and taking that name) in 1880. If so, that would narrow the range to 1870-80, which is good I would think, as it would be less common.

 

[sliverslave]

Thank you all for your help. Does anyone want to trade a luggage tag for a Morgan😀Thanks the slave

 

[sliverslave]

I would even take a 64 quarter?

 

[nhbenz]

I'd suggest you find out the value of your tag first! Some can be pretty valuable, but I don't offhand know any specifics about which.

 

[sliverslave]

Thanks nhbenz you are very helpful and I will not trade it in until I know, have a super great evening and keep pounding the ground for that sweet sound. The Slave

Sweeet tag Congrats !!!!! I don't have a Morgan but I do have other items for trade if and when you might want to trade it .

As railroad baggage tags go, that one is really cool! I'd say it's one to have appraised by a collector....

 

[sliverslave]

Thanks Ken you all are making me feel better about this find, and howdy Charlie, come on now, you have a big ol treasure chest full of Morgans stashed.
