Item Details

Description

This brass baggage tag was used for travel between New York City and Council Bluffs Iowa. This was the east end of the Union Pacific Railroad. It is an interline tag (more than one railroad used) and it is the passenger receipt. It has interesting insurance claim information on the reverse exempting the railroads from more than $100 in losses. The lines used were the Erie, Great Western, Michigan Central and the Chicago & North Western. Becasue it's Erie and not NYLE&W I am assuming it dates to before 1878. It measures about 1 1/2" by 1 3/4". It has a nice darker patina. It is check #1710.
