Please help identify tag

Hello again, can you help identify this tag please? Like all my other finds it was on Long Island.
As seen in photos has # 5 and under it looks to be a name I believe Moerch Felder

Employee time/tool check chit/token, would be my guess.

Boy...Have They Still Not Found My Luggage?

I might think...it is a Vintage Brass Baggage Tag!



Name: Moerch Felder 1 of 5 Pieces?

Quite possible a Railroad Luggage Tag...but I do not see what railroad as they usually put their name on their tags.



Maybe from the...Bay Shore Station...Long Island?
