This item was previously thought to be a membership ticket for the Book Club, but the existence of another example used as a bookplate for a book previously owned by the Book Club makes it clear that it was used to stick into books. The number was likely an accession number and possibly may even have been used to locate the item on the shelf. The squiggly lines may have been made when the book was permanently withdrawn from the Book Club's stock.
