2 silver, lots of clad and mystery item

[Diggin Dude]

Cool hunt today, two silver / 1928 mercury dime and a Roosevelt 1954. Over $7 in clad and that tarnished tag if some kind I will be listing in "what is it" forum.

The tag seems like a cool item, it says

SHEPPARD KNAPP JR
32. W 56 ST
N.Y.

I'm finding out some info on the internet.

looking at the pic, I'm not convinced it says 'w' and 'st'..... of course you're seeing it in person, and I'm only looking at a pic. to me it looks like some sort of civil war era ID that a soldier might have on him so he can be identified if killed

I can't see a W clearly or ST either but a Google search with Sheppard Knap 32 56 NY shows 32 W 56th st NY as home address for Sheppard Knap and Sheppard Knapp Jr. I try to clean it with some olive oil to see if I can make out letters better.

Here is the link from google: Club Men of New York: Their Occupations, and Business and Home Addresses ... - Google Books
