Denver and Rio Grande Railway tag!!

[diggingthe1]

Great hunt today,, went to a new spot, glad I did. I found a similar tag with "duplicate" on it about 20 years ago. Wish I still had it. I sold some keepers early on to keep the addiction going! Nice to find this one!! The Indian sure cleaned up well!!

This is an early adder made by A. M. Stephenson Manufacturing Co. of Joliet, Illinois. This is a plated brass version from the turn of the century. This is the 2-wheel version capable of doing sums up to 199. It measures about 3.5” x 2”.

Thanks!! I was thinking that is what this would have had to have been. I appreciate the research. It's in pretty good shape. I think with a little oil I'll get it going!

Railroad tags are pretty neat to find.

Thanks mindcrime, I agree!! I found one when I first started detecting, sold it to help pay for the detector. It was a "duplicate" This one is a keeper. Can't find any similar yet.

Thanks I'm having a blast researching the tag. It dates from 1871-1889. Still haven't found one similar!!
