It is marked The Truax Ore Car Works 1717/1719 Wazee St. Denver, Colo and likely was used prior to The Truax Manufacturing Company incorporation date in 1892. Two Truax ore cars at the Silverton Museum in Colorado both display this oval tag. See 2013 article in Eureka Magazine “The Elusive Truax Ore Car Tags” by Post and Rush] | Original Image |
