Token or what?

[Ace 350]

I found this today in Murfreesboro, TN at a house built in 1937. It has the numbers 13374 on the top of the object and below that it has a bone. The other side I can't tell what is written on it. Any ideas what this might be? Thanks for looking.

Dog tag maybe.

That's an old gum or mint token. Since gambling was illegal they used these tokens to put in a slot
machine that dispensed gum (or something like that) look it up on google.
Use something like vintage gum gambling machine. That way people could never be busted for gambling if they got mints out of the machine while plugging it with tokens.
