Just as a clarification, the word plate in Great Britain refers to solid silver. In the USA, the word plate refers to silver plated. Using the word plated when referring to silver plated silver may help eliminate some of the confusion.

If this is a serving or table spoon, it may be plated. The mark of 12 oz would refer to the amount of silver used to plate a gross of spoons.

I didn't see the "3 pronged mark with a arrow head on each prong" but sounds like it could be the Gorham year mark for 1897.

Reed & Barton, Taunton MA If the F is really an E, then the EPNS would mean electro-plated nickel silver or silver plated over a base metal of nickel silver. Nickel silver is an alloy of nickel, copper, and zinc and contains no silver. The 11037 is a stock or pattern number. R&B used a bell ...

Reed & Barton for sure. But maybe not Pointed Antique. Similar R&B patterns are English Antique and Four Georges. PA has a definite point and is a bit broader than Four Georges. But I really don't know for sure how you can tell the differnce without comparing to a known example.

This is the mark of Newark NJ maker Moore & Hoffman used c. 1920s-30s. This does seems to be a little to large to be a salt dish. Maybe a sugar bowl or just a candy dish.
Also, most American silver salts did not have glass liners.

This is indeed the mark of Joseph Mayers & Bros of Seattle. They made many souvenir mostly of locations in the western US. Forks are harder to find than spoons.
Mayer made many other types of silver including the silver service for the Crusier Washington around 1906.

Just food for thought but 10.18 parts silver and .82 parts alloy would be approximately .925 purity.
