Ok I thought it was junk till I put some water on it and started seeing words, then dates! The oldest I can make out is 1908 but you can also see 1909 and 1912 up the left side. It's square has one punched hole and I included objects for size comparison. Can't make out many of the visible words.

The dates are patent dates. Looks to be an old car ID tag. Like this one Vintage Body ID Identification Tag Badge Plate 1940 Packard Motor Car Company | eBay

I will agree because I see the word APRIL on the bottom.

Its older than the Packard tag when patents were dated.

Regardless of monetary value if this is from an early car that's awesome. Wish it was in better shape so I knew exactly what car.

It might be possible if you could read the word before MOTOR or decipher a few of the patent dates.

Brilliant identification, Curly!

I guess its possible that a half of Hudson tag has some value if its the only one known in existance. I looked up one of patent numbers, confirmed it as an Enterprise Automobile Company, Dyer patent for Hudson. [SAH]L.H. Dyer

Yes! That's it exactly the dates and months match perfect as do the words. You da man Curly! I will post solved when I get near a computer. I'm pumped on this!
