Northern Pacific Railway Co. Baggage Tag

[jcooking]

I was out detecting in the back yard of a guy I know and found this. When I dug it out I scratched it a little Threw it in my pouch and assumed it was a piece of scrap metal until I got home and cleaned it up. Pretty cool find that says Yellowstone Park Line on it. Never found a railroad baggage tag before, but I think that there are folks that collect these. Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
