Sorry for a repeat thread. I also have this on "help ID my finds".
I'm curious if anyone has insight on this ID tag. I believe the front to read "G. O. Caufman. Girard Pa". And the back to read SEP(?) 17 1863.
I recently found it at an 1850 property in Girard, Pa. I've got a couple hours of research on various ID tags, CW veterans directories and the Caufman genealogy in the area, but I haven't been able to nail anything down. What other use would a tag like this have beyond a dog tag?
Any tips or leads would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
