I am sure someone more knowledgeable then me will reply but is it possible that the tag is a slave tag? I've only seen one other one and it was on this very website. If it is, then you have something very rare.

Dont know what you got there but its not a slave tag. Maybe a baggage tag?

Sounds like the tag is a coat check tag they used in hotels and restaurants. As mentioned it is not a slave tag. Nice group of finds.
