Can someone please help me decipher 1) what this piece was originally used for and 2) where it originated and when? I am assuming it is silverplate--was pewter ever stamped? Thanks to all for their help. http://sv1.letmehost.com/sv1/15/59_12.JPG http://sv1.letmehost.com/img.php?file=sv1/15/56_3.JPG
