I'll guess 1920's - You're in the ballpark .

Nice surface find! Sorry, can't give an exact date but it could be very early 20th century as Argentium suggests.

Reed & Barton pattern name Unique, pattern # 11780. Dates to 1880, but how long they produced it I don't know.

added better link, Replacements.com has it as a gravy ladle, and says 1879: http://search.replacements.com/search/?query=Reed+&+Barton+unique

Not sure, but if you look at it long enough ---- could be a viking fishing lure
