So today I went one a very short hour hunt in the woods at an 1700's - 1800's Mountain Farm that no longer exist's even the house foundations are gone... anyways I mostly dug up strange Iron bits everywhere and I then I got a strange 50's signal that I dug up and out came a interesting looking tag. When I got home and started cleaning it (I sadly broke it) I realized what it was. Iv'e never found a tag before but here is what it says: "THULINS Vagn & SFL Fabrik Skillingaryd 1875" Translation: "Thulins Waggon & SFL (SFL Probably Stands For Sleigh/Sledge) factory Skillingaryd 1875 (Established 1875)*"

It's probably from the late 1800's and was sitting on a the side of a Waggon a long time ago. And it is quite unique that the red color is still on it, so for the locals in 'Skillingaryd' where the Factory is/was this could have some local value and be a rare piece...

Great find! I have found two different "buggy tags" here from local companies. Nice find.
