1939 NY World's Fair Souvenir

I was at an old house and found what I thought was a piece of scrap. After getting home and cleaning out my treasure purse... actually, it is a satchel... like Indiana Jones carries. I noticed that the scrap had writting on it, it said "social security" across the top. A little more cleaning, and a little research, and low and behold, a souvenir from the 1939 World's Fair. It has the guys name embossed on it. He chose to put his home town "Matthews, NC" instead of his SS number.
