Congrats on your super rare find!!!. Obviously the tag wasn't made for the piece but looks great on it.
Can you tell us the story of how you found it and what the seller said about it?

Here is a front and back of the tag. The man I bought this from said the tag was on it when he bought it. He believed it was original to the piece and I had my doubts. The ashtray was sitting in the corner of an upper glass display cabinet and was one of the first things I spotted. He had some other various figurals but this one stood out to me pretty quickly. The antique show started at 9am yesterday morning. I got there about 12:45pm and luckily found this around 1pm. I was speed walking through the place too because I needed to pick my daughter up from school

Pretty sure the reference to a bread company pegs the tag as a bread tie. I have seen these for the cardinals on the thirties.

So, it's vintage but necessarily connected to the ashtray?

Yes... both pieces are vintage, but are completely unrelated.

It makes a nice companion piece, IMO.

Is it possible, as I don't know how the ashtray was made available back then, that it was some sort of Bread promotion? Mail in some bread tags/receipts and receive a free Tigers ashtray?
