Found it in a memorabilia lot and can’t seem to find anything out about it.

  1. I wonder if this is like when the browns offered “dog tags”. I think it was like a club sort of thing. I think I have one of those somewhere. Not sure where I even got it from.

  2. It’s one of those old keychains you could drop in the mailbox, and it would get sent to the address. This used to be a thing. There were services that would get you keys sent to a company, and they would send them to you. That’s what their serial number is. The team must have run one of these.

    I think I just dated myself 😂

  3. your great-grandfather got that medal in game the Indians played in the World Series in 1920 against the Brooklyn Robins at League Park. they won. he passed it on to your grandfather who took it with him when he got sent to Wake Island to grease Japs. he got shot down and the medal made it to your father. later your dad got shot down over Hanoi. for five long years greasing slopeheads he wore that medal up his ass. then when he died of dysentery he gave me the medal. i hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for two years. then after seven years i was sent home to my family. and now, little man, i give the medal to you.

  4. That’s a pre-smartphone data collection app. 😂

    What everyone else is saying about keys is true, but also the team gets a registry of where their fans live and they can put you on their own mailing list and/or sell their list to another company that wants to market to their demographic. 

    The cost the team ends up paying in postage is nothing compared to the value of the marketing data. 

    Yes, I know I sound like Burt Gummer ranting about barcode scanners.
