Anyone tell me what these tags were used for. They are about 1 3/8" in diameter.

Union Pacific Tool Room. Used when you check out tools. Worker gets it back when tool is returned.

I would agree with Michael. The Army used to issue tags at the motor pool, similar to those and when the tool was returned you got the tag back.
However, I am wondering about the one with the hole in the middle.
