yes, looks like a WW1 dog tag to me, although perhaps started but not finished (?) looks like it's trying to spell 'Willis'

Re: WIERD TAG !!!.....
Thank's for the info guy's.This is what I found "In 1910 a tag was issued that was identical to the 1906 pattern in all ways except size. The 1910 tag measured 3.5cm in diameter. Both 1906 and 1910 pattern tags were, from this date on, issued in similar numbers and can be encountered relatively equally. There was one more change before the USA entered the war. Possibly due to reports from the nations already involved in the war or possibly due to experiences in Mexico, a second disc was introduced on 6 July 1916. From this date, the first disc (whether of 1906 or 1910 pattern) had two holes to facilitate the attachment of the second disc.
Whoever stamped this probably didn't have an "S" and used a "2",also with the "A" in the USA and used the letter "V". Pretty neat find from the yard
