That's a neat tag! I think it is from something called the "Plant System" of linked steamship lines and railroads.

The South Florida Railroad, Ocean Steamship Co., Florida Southern Railway and the Savannah, Florida & Western Railway.

Here is a pamphlet -

It looks like a combination Railroad - Steamship baggage tag. That's a great find.
