Old Colony Railroad

Found this tag at an old home site. Looks like a fob or baggage tag. What do the experts think?

I would say definitely a baggage tag and a sweet one at that !!!!! Congrats !!!!

This tag is way older than zip or area codes.

it was a combination Railroad and steamship company, so it could have been from a baggage tag for a package that was shipped by steamship

I believe the Old Colony Railroad shuttled people between NY and Newport, RI via rail and steamship. Very nice find.
