That is from the 1938 Baseball Tabs set.

Here is a link to the checklist.

This is what they look like if the tabs were not used.

They were made to attach to a hat or jacket and are worth more if the tabs are not bent. I would assume that if you try to straighten out the tabs, there is a good chance the tabs would break off.

There are 2 slightly different issues... but related

1938 PR1-1 "half round" Baseball Tabs
1938 PR1-2 "flat" Baseball Tabs

The second type are more flat that the other.

They uses the same photos (I believe) and were most likely issued by the same candy company.

Both types are fairly tough overall, especially without scratches on the face and messed up tabs.
