Looking for information on a baggage tag I found a few years ago for the Iron Mountain RR. The tag was manufactured by the M. M. Buck Company. I have done extensive research on this, but have been unable to prove the tag is authentic to some experts, K. L. & L. & Scott Czaja of Tag Town. From my research, I am "convinced" the tag is authentic, rare, & may date to the 1860's. Anyone interested in this subject or who may have tags made by the Buck Co. cast or stamped, I would really like to hear from. Thanks !

Mr. Hickman wrote me asking for help on validating the baggage tag. I suggested he post his query on the Interchange. The image below is of the tag in question.
