1800's luggage tag?

Morning guys. I was digging recently when I uncovered this tag. I was unsure what exactly I had but did a little research and found out that it is possibly a baggage tag from the mid 1800's. It was found about 5 inches deep under some pine straw near a very old tavern in western, Mass. I've never dug anything like it so if anyone has any info on bag tags it would be greatly appreciated.

I believe it's from the early 1900's issued by the insurance company of the wearer (policy holder) incase of an accident.
Added: Mark Parker identifies a similar item in the link below (third item down), although from a different insurance company. It explains the usage of them: http://archive.wetreasures.com/askmarkparker/201210.htm
