AS THE CARS FILLED WITH COAL THEY WOULD THROW A HANDFUL OF THE TAGS INTO THE RAIL CARS AND WHEN THE TRAIN ARRIVED AT THE RIVER OR POWER PLANT THE WORKERS KNEW WHO'S COAL THEY WERE SELLING. THESE TAGS ARE NO LONGER USED AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND ARE VERY RARE ESPECIALLY IN LARGE QUANTITIES. VERY NICE A MUST HAVE FOR ANY GREAT COLLECTION!!!!!! THESE TAGS WERE GIVEN TO MY GRANDFATHER , AND HE COLLECTED THEM IN THE 60'S AND 70'S. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME ANYTIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND HAPPY BIDDING !
