1900 food ispector badge or tag!!!!

[diggingthe1]

Such warm weather. My son and I got out today. He found the spoon piece. I haven’t seen a food inspector badge, (or maybe tag) before. It will be fun to learn more. .i cant quite figure out what the spoon says. Happy Hunting!

Cool finds. The handle is from a Colorado souvenir spoon, similar to this one which is in sterling silver: The word running up the handle is 'COLORADO', and the words in the scroll under the pack mule are 'LONE PROSPECTOR', but I'm not sure what the words above it are. Seems to be 'something...IONS NET' (?) This one has the Denver State Capitol building on the bowl:

Congrats !! The food inspector tag is a new one to me as well. Did ya figure out if the spoon handle is silver, it should be.
