Anyone know if this is from the factory, or just the p.o.? Any idea about what the tag may have said?
Thanks

Those were the zip-ties used at the factory. Can't confirm it's, but it seems likely.

That's what I thought also, it's zip tied to a bunched up plastic baggie.

The tag probably had the key code and/or the vin #.

Pretty sure that was the key to unlock the Caramilk secret...

In photo 2 there is a second 'tag' visible. It is the rectangular bit of metal just to the left of the key grip, seen underneath the knots for the strings.

The factory keys came with one aluminum tab that size. It has an oblong hole at one end.

A 4 digit key code is stamped into one side of that tab.

Is this a Canadian reference, eh?

HA! I didn't think it was, but apparently it is!

I knew we had a few chocolate bars you can't get in the US, like Coffee Crisp, but hadn't realized Caramilk was one of them. You'll have to try one next time you're North of the border. That and some All Dressed chips ;)

Original keys are some kind of steel. They are magnetic. The reproductions are brass I believe.

Thanks for the info, that explains the rust. I wonder if this key was lost in there at the factory or hidden by the PO
