Looks like a slave tag...

Its not a slave tag, its from the American House hotel in Boston. It was established in 1835. I'm thinking its from a room key. Lots of stuff on the net about it

That hotel tag is a nice find ! I think it is circa 1880's- 90's - I found one from Atlanta -(1900 or thereabouts) near Santa Fe.

Glad i could help! I searched "American house Boston" the quotation marks will narrow the search down to sites with that exact word combination. I came up with nothing without using the quotation marks.
