What are some good, easy ways to mark each harmonica with key identifier?

Thanks.

Hello mtnhank. The top, right

Hello mtnhank. The top, right hand corner of your cover plate is one place. For the sticker, you can use the sticker that came on your case (if it came with one). I like to use clear nail polish to seal it, otherwise the sticker will come off fairly quickly. Another option is to use 1/4" vynal lettering, again using nail polish to seal it. Lastly, there are harmonica companies that make labels too, so doing a search would be a good idea. Most people place the labels on the back or side of the harmonica, on the comb.
