Regional and Temporary Tags

Documented separately from the nine-generation sequence.

Type Description
Canadian black & white Canadian issue, black and white.
Canadian burgundy Canadian issue, burgundy.
Temporary / tacked Attics appearing in Canada carried three tush tags: the burgundy American, a black & white without registration number, and a temporary tag carrying the registration number, attached with a fastener similar to the hang tag’s.
Hand-tacked Most Attic Treasures have machine-sewn tush tags, but some are hand tacked. There is also evidence of older black & white tags being removed and replaced with a tacked tag.

Hang Tag Pairings

574 hang tag and tush tag combinations are documented across 233 Attic Treasures. Some tush tags do not appear to have been used in any strict order, so combinations overlap between generations.
