This is quite a robust coin ladle in the fiddle and thread pattern by a firm I had not encountered before, Bennett & Bros, 586 Broadway. I addition on the rear of the fiddle there is an inscribed date of 1852, presumably from when it dates. The top face of the fiddle has had a monogram removed. It has been very professionally done because, at first, one, that's me, would think it was the designed curvature of the handle. The area has even acquired its own patina.

To be honest I am not sure what it is for but it is a beautiful piece of handwrought sterling by Lebolt. It comes in three pieces: the main pot, of '1 Pint' capacity, with ivory insulators, for, I presume, the hot chocolate or coffee; a smaller pot with just a sterling handle, which presumably is for the milk and then, lastly, the lid. Each piece is fully marked with the Lebolt logo, Lebolt, Handbeaten, Sterling, #281, while the main pot has, in addition, 1Pint. 5.25" total height. ...click for details

These early tapersticks have become extremely rare. This one is fully hallmarked underneath but the Date Letter is unreadable as it was poorly struck. The cartouches of the marks are c.1740 and the maker, Richard Gosling, started work in 1739, so it is, unquestionably, of that period. It is in very fine condition with a nice crest. 4" high, 2.5" wide at the base.
