Numbered tag

[ModernMiner]

I found this tag yesterday at the farm where I have been uncovering a CW era items.
It still has a small piece of cloth pinched between the two pieces.
As you can see, it is stamped "T" & "4419". At least I think that's a "9"?
Does anyone know what this could be?
thanks,
MM

Thats cow hide pinched in between there. My guess is that came of a cow's ear. Hillbilly bread<><

Thanks Hillbilly,

I didn't know cows wore earings.

Looks like they used a modified 'y' for the nine Interesting though.
