Getting a 70 yr old tag is a nice keeper.

Looks like it's time to find the box that key goes to. ;)
 

Nathan W, that tag has so many details! It may have been issued by Dr. Hugh W. Armstrong just 2 years after beginning practice in Monroe.

Hugh W. Armstrong ’49​

After graduating from high school, Armstrong joined the U.S. Air Force, where he served from 1942 until 1945. He attended Davidson, Presbyterian Junior College, and N.C.
