Im hoping someone here can Identify this. I tried a google search, but I wasnt able to find anything... I'm assuming that "contr's" means "contractors"?.. Though I could absolutely be wrong. Thank you in advance.

I can't fully identify it, but I think I can move the ball down the field a bit. My family owned a hardware store many years ago. The abbreviation "B.S. Company" or "B.S. Co." routinely was used for a building supply company. My guess is that this was a charge tag for a building contractor who purchased from the supply company. Our hardware store had charge tags for a couple of the local supply companies.

Maybe a search of secretary of state corporations registry websites could turn up a supply company that had the initials "A____ K____."

Could also be a workman's tool crib tag for checking out tools from the company trailer or tool crib. Had them in high schops and when I worked at machine company.
