El Paso, Texas Owney tag
Object Details
- Description
- Owney’s visit to El Paso, Texas, was commemorated with this round silver tag that offered him one drink at the parlor of the city court house. The front of the tag features the image of a church, identified on the tag as the “old church age 270 years.” On the back of the tag, E.W. Ford scratched his name into it, probably to indicate that he presented the tag to Owney.
