Hotel Key Check Owney tag
Object Details
- Description
- The locations of some of the tokens Owney received on his journeys are impossible to track down. This diamond-shaped metal token is marked simply “E 33 H” and offers no clues to its origin. It is similar in markings to hotel key tokens Owney received along his journeys, but without additional information it is impossible to definitively identify it as such.
