THIS OLD PIECE IS FROM AN AUCTION BOX. NO IDEA AS TO AGE. LOOKS TO BE IN RELATIVELY GOOD CONDITION. MARKED HOTEL TULSA. THE LARGER ONE IS MARKED CITIZENS COAL & SUPPLY.... HOME OF YELLOW JACKET COAL. NO MENTION OF WHERE IT'S FROM.
FYI; the smaller spoon is a JFO, (Just for Openers) # F-2, Patent #85,178, issued to Thomas Harding, Sept.22, 1931, assigned to John L. Sommer Manufacturing Comp. of Newark, NJ.
