WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS MINING COMPANY TAG IS THE CONDITION....THESE OLD MINE TAGS SIMPLY DO NOT SURVIVE IN GREAT CONDITION....THIS ONE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF, CAME OUT OF A LARGE NOTEBOOK COLLECTION

This is an tougher  to find old mining tag, and a company which operated near present day Miami, Arizona....AND THIS TAG WAS ORIGINALLY FOUND IN THAT REGION. This company aka Arizona Zinc & Lead documented mining company listed in the book "Arizona Mines and Mining Companies" by James Garbani. (by far, the best resource for identifying a lot of these Arizona mine tags). 

The mining town of MIAMI and the site is located in GILA County Arizona, not far from towns of Superior, Claypool, and Globe Arizona

OLD MINING TAGS ARE GETTING TOUGHER TO FIND...AND THESE OLD MINE TAGS FROM "INSPIRATION" REGION ARE VERY COLLECTIBLE...THIS IS A GREAT SPECIMEN

I believe these old mining related tags are much tougher to find than people give them credit for compared to "trade tokens"....typically when tokens were produced...the merchant ordered a minimum quantity from a token company salesman (like l.a. rubber stamp)...of perhaps 100 pcs back in the day. Over the years these tokens were discarded, lost and tossed in a fire or dump... and only a couple specimens remain today............now consider these old Arizona "mining tags"...they were typically crudely made, probably not ordered, of if they were, made in small quantities, and sometimes I think produced at the site (in a little shop).... This came out of a great old lifetime collection of Arizona mining tags.....this is a nice one.

Mining company tag is brass, round shaped with suspension hole,  about 34mm in size, and overall displays well. (please see pictures in gallery) 

PLEASE CONSIDER MY GALLERY PHOTOS AS A DESCRIPTION OF THIS LOT....
