I believe that it is probably a tool check or work check from an Augusta, Georgia division of the Smith-Pew Construction Company of Atlanta. In Atlanta and Environs - A Chronicle of Its People and Events, Vol. III by Harold H. Martin there is a reference to this firm's having been awarded a War Department consruction project at Fort McPherson, near Atlanta, in 1940.

A tool check is handed in when a worker receives company-owned equipment in order to perform an assigned task. The tag is later reclaimed when the tools or other items are returned. This allows the company to keep track of its property and determine who is responsible for lost or damaged items.

A work check is handed in to a company clerk at the beginning of a shift or assignment, and then reclaimed when the shift ends or the job is done.
