A key tag for room 26 at some old long gone hotel? What's the size of it?

 

[cgdigger]

Thanks for the response. It's about the size of a quarter. Your guess seems like a pretty good one to me. Anyone else?

Mining camps and logging camps handed out similar tokens to these as employee ID#'s, many had a matching numbered token attached to their spot at the cookhouse tablehere are two I found in a 1912 logging camp (the smaller would have been attached to cookhouse table

Dang! Your smaller one looks exactly like mine. So other than the fact that yours was found at a logging camp and mine wasn't, there's good reason to believe that they both served the same general purpose. Thanks!

Possibly a Chit. We used chits in the military as a way to keep track of tools. A set of numbers was assigned to a person who gave up a chit for a tool. When the tool was returned, the chit was given back to the worker.
