Camp Lee equipment tag

The best I can figure is this is an equipment tag meant to be tacked a wooden crate. Camp Lee became Fort Lee in Virginia in 1950 so it is at least that old. Anyone have any ideas? Oh, it is about 1 1/4 inches across.

It appears to be cast with Camp Lee hand stamped. The metal looks to be brass oxidized on the face but the reverse may have traces of black paint.

Camp Lee was first established in June 1917 until it was turned over to the state of Virginia in 1918, when it was turned into a game preserve.  In October 1940 the camp was reactivated until April 1950 when the installation was redesignated as a Fort.
