This listing is for a hotel silverware tablespoon. While the front of the handle is not marked, the backside is stamped, “OMU.” It was purchased in Norman, Oklahoma at an estate sale. Norman is home to the University of Oklahoma. The student union named the “Oklahoma Memorial Union” or OMU is the activity center on campus. The union was completed in 1939 “as a memorial to the students, faculty and staff of the university who fought and died in World War I” according to research. Wikipedia also notes, “When the central part of the Union was finished, students and faculty enjoyed a large cafeteria, a book exchange, and a large open area with two regulation-sized bowling alleys and several pool & snooker tables on the ground floor.” While not 100% certain this OMU marking is from the union, it seems likely. The spoon also is marked on the back, “Victors.Co. AI+Overlay. IS” for the Victor Silver Company. The spoon is a matte silver finish. The spoon measures approximately 7 3/8” long and approximately 1 1/2” across the spoon. The spoon is not a teaspoon and not a large serving piece. Noting it is a tablespoon, which reasonably could be used to serve. Please see all photos to supplement this description. 

Please note we also have listed other hotel silver include older Sheraton hotel pieces, McAbee, CSD&E and Mayo Hotel pieces. Happy to combine shipping.
