Congrats on the recovery

Broke up? I really think that the 11,000 employees would be saying-Nope.
Tweak of the name-all the same-Great Grandfather was at the Last Spike in Craigellachie,
Company is still worth $19.22 Billion in assets

You got yourself a luggage tag-brass
Just because something goes into a high VDI # it does correctly ID the actual metal content.
The reason for the high number is the 2 holes in the tag-a real coil liking feature.

Read up on the great history from the money scandal to the last spike. A true National Dream it was.
I cut my teeth play, digging, detecting along the endless construction sites in BC.

As 'pepperj' said above, It is a brass train luggage tag similar to this one:

Nice CP Railroad find, just goes to prove that these tags travelled a long way on peoples luggage. Here's a baggage tag I found a few years ago from the NYCRR in Ontario.
