I need help identifying this old Becker & Mayer Co fob. I found this behind an old garage at a huge old structure built around 1905. Any help appreciated.

Baldingboy,
Finding the answer to What is it? is nearly as rewarding for me as finding the object itself.
I enjoy researching for the answers. Thanks for you kind comment.
Don..
