This is not a watch thread but I think it is interesting!
I have this very old item from my grand grand mother and I cannot identify what was it used for!
I found that is from a hotel called Providence Biltmore 1922!
I found a teapot with the same initial and design on ebay!
I think that the item is silver!!
Can you tell what was used for?
Thank you!

It looks like a spoon. I usually pick up the Rolex Bucherer spoons for a few bucks at thrift stores. The one with a crown in my photo has a similar profile as yours. What do you think?

The ones in my photo are not silver. Ps: I connected your thread to watches!

Thanks for the answer @Duracuir1
I don't think its a spoon!
I thought maybe it is an egg cracker device?
Like you keep the boiled egg and crack it with that!
Just an assuption!

Interesting. On closer inspection yours says “electro plate” so it’s plated, like the spoons.

Could be a muddler, known nowadays as a stir stick, or “swizzle stick”. Before they became plastic.
