    Found this at a yard sale and have no idea what it is. I was thinking a key fob, but why would the Paramount number individual key fobs?

      Seat number?
    2. PaperHoarder, 8 years ago
      I was thinking that, but would it have actually hung on a seat? I was also thinking it might be a watch fob but i don't see how seat number would be tied in with that. Unless reserved seat?

      Coat-check tag. One would stay on the hanger with your coat and you'd get a 2nd in order to identify and reclaim your coat at the end of the performance.

      Thank you for the answer!

      I should have asked (before throwing out my guess) but how big is it (an inch-ish in dia?) and what's it made of? (pressboard of some sort, or is it metal?) Also, any idea what Paramount it could have come from?
    6. PaperHoarder, 8 years ago
      About an inch or so, not too big. It's some sort of pressboard and it'd be from the Paramount in Boston.
