Hi Bob,
I hope you are well!
These were individually made to say whatever info you wanted by a machine by inserting around a dollar.
I vividly remember seeing these at Disneyland in the 1960's- 1980's and actually made a couple of them myself. People would put them on their key chain.
Obviously the guy that made this one was a fan of your boy Joe Horlen.
Great pickup for you. Congrats!
I hope this helps
