I have yet to see any of these Long Branch New Jersey Southern RR railroad baggage tags on the internet or EBay so I am hoping it is fairly scarce.

The Safe Deposit box key tag is from The East River Savings Bank in NYC and was located across the street from the World Trade Center. Ironically, this tag's number is 2001. Oh, Century 21 Department Store is now located on that site. Or it was. Haven't been there in a few years.

And my first San Fransisco Wheaties, a 1950 S. I probably have found over one hundred wheats but only a handful of Ds and now my first S. I guess they just didn't make it to the East Coast that often.
