Hi, This may be a tough one. I found this tag, years ago (I don’t remember where or when) and it’s been sitting on my desk. It’s rectangular 1-11/16"X7/8"X1/16"(thick), with round ends. It’s made of metal (non magnetic) deep brown in colour. The letters are in three rows. Does anyone have a clue as to what it might be? … john ---

looks like a dog tag indicating membership of a 9 man team. I mean, it is literally a tag sold to attach to pets to label them. Military ones would have a standard ID of some sort. at least branch ? . Pet ones are cheap eg bronze or similar, and easily stamped… So it appears rather personal as opposed to official. ---

That is what I thought, pet tag or maybe a locker key tag, for a public locker. You know the lockers you could rent in bus stations or train depots a few decades ago. ---

I had assumed the fonts would have been different on the different lines, because there are 14 kinds of glyphs in a fob protecting dogs. ---

I have one the exact same, just a slightly different colour. I bought it from a shop years ago (I think from H&M) so that makes me believe it’s nothing special ---

Also the code it’s in makes no sense once translating it. It reads; “Did must far T back blue Must U spoon” (its am, not an) ---
