COAL MINE SCATTER TAG "ORIGINAL POCOHONTAS" CONSOLIDATION COAL CO VA MINES

Description

THIS IS A COAL MINE SCATTER TAG USED BY THE CONSOLIDATION COAL COMPANY WHO HAD MINES IN KY AND VA.  1971 KEYSTONE SHOWS MINES IN VA POCOHONTAS.  I THINK THIS WAS USED IN SW VIRGINIA.
SCATTER TAGS ARE TRADE NAMES FOR COAL COMPANIES THAT WERE "SCATTERED" INTO RAILROAD CARS AS COAL WAS BEING LOADED.  THIS WAS AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR COAL COMPANIES WHEN COAL WAS BEING BURNED BY THE RECEIVING CUSTOMER..
