Here are few pieces that I picked up the other day:)

Detroit Times Tag. Not sure what is was a tag for but I thought a little motor city for my collection would be good.

Just went to a housewarming party at a new home probably located at the site of the old Keystone Watch Case Co. plant, at the convergence of 19th, Brown, and Wylie Streets in the revitalizing Philadelphia neighborhood of Francisville. Fabulous view of the skyline from there!

Well the times newspaper was the first to be folded into one of the others back in the mid sixties. Could be a employee locker tag, or one of the box key tags, back in the day for the change box lock.
If you look at the bottom of the reverse of both photo's They look to be made by the same company Whithead-HOAG I can't really make out the letters after the dash Pretty neat if they are.
Well here is the company history it was out of New Jersey
