I've tried using Google Translate, but I can't figure out what the word is in order to type it in for the translation. It was hand painted, I assume by my great-great-grandfather - almost like a luggage tag by today's standard. And the paint is fading, so it makes it even more difficult. And since it was hand lettered in 1854, we've even looked at google "old german" writing style to try and figure out what the letters are. Once I know that, then using Google to translate will be easy.
