This lock and luggage tag likely belonged to Tonopah & Goldfield Railroad Company, which operated 1906-1947. Riveted bronze padlock marked “M 70” on shackle front and marked “70” on the key drop. The shackle rear is marked “T&G RR 70” and the rear body appears to have once been stamped in 4 places, but the markings are now illegible, perhaps due to being filed off. This lock is not consistent with other known T&G RR locks. For instance, the shackle seems to thin for this lock body. Chain fob intact, chain missing. The luggage tag is a 1.5" diameter metal circle imprinted "AM. RY.S.CC/ T.& G. R. R." and secured with an s-hook to a small key. - Jacobitz Collection -59568
