    You don't give size but it does appear to be a match holder.

    I would agree. Matchbox holder.

    How do you know the Hotel Baltimore was in New York?

    I just thought it was since it had Baltimore on it. Maybe I'm wrong.

    The only one I can find is in North Baltimore, Ohio but, of course, there might have been others.

    One in Kansas City too. Think this more likely (at least in terms of size and amenities.)
