Wondering if anyone can tell me anything about this baggage tag? I found it in my father's Civil War memorabilia . The tag appears to be made of brass and measures about 2 1/4" long by 1 1/4" wide. On the tag it says M&O.R.R. Baggage . there is a number "403" in the center. He did lots of metal detecting when I was a child in VA and found many Civil War buckles, buttons, bayonets, etc.
It's a Mobile & Ohio Railroad baggage tag. The M&O operated until 1940 when they were merged into the Gulf Mobile & Ohio RR.
