I have one of these as well and came on the site to try to find more info about it. As far as I can tell, it is a motorcycle driver's license. if you have found any additional information about this, I'd love to know. From what I was told, years ago, they issued these for motorcycle driver's to wear like dog tags so if they got into a bad accident, they could identify the person.

These are quite common to find at estate sales and the such. These were made into the late 1950's, at least in SC. I can't speak for other states.
