George A. Reinville Owney tag

Owney, American, c. 1888 - 1897

Owney received this identification tag from George A. Reinville, who is listed in the Manchester, New Hampshire city directories as first a clerk at an unidentified business on Merrimack Street, then a janitor at Union Depot. The tag notes that Mr. Reinville was a member of the Ancient Order of Foresters, a fraternal society rooted in England. The back of the tag is engraved with “Bakersville N.H.” and the initials “K.S. F.,” which may stand for the Knights of St. Francis.
