Pulled this piece up today,it's 2 3/4" high X 1 3/4" wide. It has CB9 on the front and was found at a logging campsite I have been working for 2 years now. Any ideas what it would be?

Metal tags are allowed as logging brands for I.D. purposes.

looks like a tag which is nailed to the end of a log to identify the customer to which that particular stack/tree trunk was to be shipped to.

interesting find... thanks for sharing

It probably was used for a localized system of wired phones from a time before electronic communication devices were portable. This tag would indicate Call Box 9. Normally the call box tags after 1940 were engraved into enameled plates but prior to that, cast iron tags were used. The phones were mounted on the very same poles that brought the lines up to the logging camp.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
