WSS & CO - Spork?

[SammyDon]

OK so I know nothing about silver and my grandad had asked me if I could find out anything about this (I think it's called a spork? haha) that he had in his shed.

I managed to find that the manufacturers are W.S Savage & Co.

Could any one tell me if they know;

Which year was it made?
What it actually is and used for
