OK, this one is stretching the limits of the forum to the extreme, as it's not connected with jewellery or silverware, and it's only nickel-plated, but it is connected with an item of a lady's adornment, and for many of us, if we came across such a piece, we may not be aware of its original purpose:

I guess the item that is illustrated around its actual size, though may be a little larger. The item is from 1909.
Think ladies fashion.
