These two unique items are a mystery to me.

Can anyone tell me what they were used for, maker and age? It looks like both have the same flag style makers mark.

Pierced dragon/griffin(?) flat server of some sort. Measures 5 3/4" long.

Pierced sterling cupid scalloped spoon was used for? Measures 4 3/4" long.

Hi Jen,

Neat pieces! Both were made by Watson, Newell of Attleboro, Mass.

The toothed one with the griffin(?) is a small tomato or cucumber server in the Olympia pattern (introduced in 1890). I've also seen this described as a cheese server.

The cupid piece is probably a nut or bon bon spoon.

My guess would be that they're both from somewhere in the 1890s.
