Owney received this specially designed token from National Association of Post Office Clerks during their third national convention in Baltimore, Maryland. The tag is dated April 19, 1892, three years to the day before Owney would set out on his around the world journey. The clerks were appreciative fans of the dog early in his traveling career.
