Just a curiosity, I wonder if the disk can be read like DVD? The latest memory devices can store gigabytes on disks the size of a coin.

That’s an intriguing idea. It sounds more like a tag for a dog collar, though. At any rate, John gave it back…

The disc was most likely a premium given away with the Hartz Mountain flea collar. In 1967, flea collars were still a new item, only invented a few years before in 1964. As a promotion, early collars included a blank metal ID disc as a premium. You sent it to the company with 10 cents, and if you were lucky, the company returned the disc ingraved with your hone number.

Thanks! That sounds likely. It does look like a tag from a pet collar.
