I had no luck.
Google search after Google search, I was left dumbfounded.
{If you know what EDDY means, do tell!}
So, I’ll make some assumptions. The holes at the top indicate that the tags were meant to be worn. From the individual numbers, I’m guessing they were used to identify something, seemingly a person or item. Could it be related to war time? Perhaps they were tags worn by soliders?
Sherlock Emily rests her case.
To me, mystery makes the tags even cooler. My imagination runs wild every time I look at them. There’s a certain romance in these little metal circles – they each hold an interesting tale that the world will probably never know.
Using gold wire, I turned them into necklaces by pairing the tags with old keys and beads. Some were given as holiday gifts and some were kept for my own wearing.

I love the multi layered look in the last picture. you’re right they have a certain romance about them especially with the myseterious origins!
The first thing I said to myself when I saw the top picture is “cool! I wonder what they were used for!” I’m glad I’m not the only curious one! I like the vintage vibe it throws out and I think the version with the beads steps it up to “this belongs on a necklace”

Isn’t that funny, my first thought was that Eddy was a dog! Yet, what is the “1019” for? I guess we’ll never know! – J

Very cute!
My thought is perhaps EDDY is the name of a hotel of some sort and these were key rings for different rooms.
