Victor Silver Co Silver Plate Spoon Warmer

This is a spoon warmer,I believe. It is a two piece unit with a cradle for a spoon or some kind of utensil. I was thinking maybe a food or sauce warmer. This has one small dent on the side, which is shown in the picture. What ever it is, it is not your everyday find. It is in very good condition and very usable. Pre 1960s 2-1/2” x 4-5/8”(inc handle)
