The spoon latches are all chrome, while the later ones have little plastic
knobs that you grab to open the windows.   With the spoons, the ends look
kinda like a sugar scoop, and you hook your finger under them to open them,
rather that gripping the little knows.  Also, the spoons open the window
over _twice_ as wide as the later ones, so you get some serious airflow.
I've seen spoons for $20 apiece at shows.

BTW - they are interchangeable!

I'll keep my eyes peeled!
