Need help identifying this token

Someone brought this in today and I'm trying to help them figure out what it is. I guessed a ship passage token, but I'm not finding anything similar using that search term. Does anyone have any idea what this is?

    It's not a token but a pre 1960's passenger ship luggage check which a bell boy would have handed you before taking your steamer trunk to your cabin.

    That is way cool.



    I wanna go on a passenger ship and have a steamer trunk and get one of those tokens and drink wine at the Captain's table and..............

    You can do so on the Queen Mary. As a child we stayed on the steam liner and it was very cool.
