Arago: Fire Department Tokens

Owney received a handful of tags from firemen and fire stations around the country, including this tag representing Lowell, Massachusetts’s Central Fire Station. There is no information on when Owney received the tag. A number of railway lines passed through Lowell, including the Boston & Main and the Old Colony Railroad. The back of the tag notes that C.O.A. Grover, a Lowell steel letter cutter, created the tag.
