From a Facebook post by Shelby Scott
My dad found this spoon in an antique store in Estes Park, Colorado. It was made by Mechanics Sterling Company. out of Massachusetts, which was the flatware subdivision for the Watson Company. The only spoons I have found close to that design are from 1903.
It may have been an "Iowa" spoon and someone customized it for Odebolt.

Applegate moved to Estes Park from Odebolt. Her dad George Hillburn
used to polish rocks and make jewelry and doll houses. He was mayor of
Odebolt. Maybe he did it?
Whatever the story behind it, here it is.
