Looks like a tool check out tag.

Were there active coal mines in your area? These tags were used at all mines to keep track of lamps and tools that were used in the mines. They were also used to keep track of which miners were still underground.

Could be an ear tag for cattle.

Could be an old motel room key fob too. Many uses for that type of tag.
