Detroit Michigan Owney tag. This metal shield-shaped tag was given to Owney on his visit to Detroit, Michigan, on November 11, 1893. Just as Owney’s presence in a city was an opportunity to interest the local press in an unusual story, Owney was a walking billboard for civic organizations and store owners.
