Naugatuck Railroad · 1888-1897
Owney received this baggage check token from someone along the Naugatuck Railroad. The Naugatuck operated in Connecticut as a connecting line from the New York & New Haven RR. It merged with that company in 1906. This baggage check was made by John Robbins, who began crafting such tokens in the early 1840s in Boston, Massachusetts.
