I recently picked up an Adolf Hitler formal pattern spoon, fork, and linen item. Unfortunately I really don't know what the linen was used for. In my research I found a similar sized piece of linen that was considered either a large dinner napkin, or a table runner. The AH and eagle monogram only appear at one end. The reverse has a hanging loop at either end. The linen measures 38 3/4" long x 19 1/2" wide.

I think these are generally considered to be table runners. Unsure what the hooks are for. Maybe they were used on a train to secure them in place.
Any story with these pieces?
