This piece is a small ladle type spoon. It is marked "GM CO EP Pat 1914" on the back. I believe this is a Gorham silverplate piece in the Shelburne pattern, issued in 1914. This piece is approximately 5 3/4 inches long. There is ladle like slightly upturned handle on this piece but I am not sure if it is a cream ladle or possibly a sugar spoon. This piece has two small wear spots on the heel approximately 1/4 inch in size but it is in overall good condition for an antique silverplate piece.
