Crude hand cut brass tag. I thought it was a rare plantation workers tag, instead it reads: TURN AROUND #21 ...Another, Yeahhh!!! aw shucks.
It was found in early 1900's stata of broken bottles and such. Any speculations or thoughts?

I thought about a tool check out tag, but I don't know.

Maybe a mine tag. Two way tag system.

Yea... tool check from the Turn Around Mine or a hat/coat check from the Turn Around Bar.

I dunno...

Who Knows! but, I like the sponge/background look

ringman, it is possible that this was a tag labeling goods for a railroad depot destination? in situations where there was limited track, there were sometimes what were called "turnarounds", and they were specific locations.

train tag -- where the cars to be sent to the turn around rail car area --(thus be sent back to where it came from -- maybe it was customized train car for a certainuse at a certain place?)

Don't nobody go stealing my sponge display idea.

Thanks for all of your help. The train idea makes sense, I would have never thought of that.

Maybe a sign... Did you turn around. Did you find something when you did?

I'm guessing it's something to do with transportation. Like a luggage tag or even a Stagecoach turn around station location.. Beats me
