There have been a couple of threads about these, but I don't think there was ever a definitive explanation on exactly what they were.
Sorry, I don't have a scanner large enough to scan the whole thing, but in case yours is missing the top part, there's a string that indicates that these were made for hanging. The backs are blank.
Someone speculated that they may have hung in hotels, which is as good an explanation as any. There were at least two other members who had these, I think Leon was one of them. Whatever they are, they're cool and somewhat rare.
