    Hi, Lucille -
    The top one is Reed & Barton, perhaps one of the Les Cinq Fleurs patterns. Bakers will know!
    The 2nd I recognized immediately. It's one of those old, very distinctive patterns. It's Whiting (NOT Frank Whiting!) and it's the HYPERION pattern, introduced in 1888.
    According to this catalog page, it's either a tablespoon (top left) OR a dessert spoon (3rd from left), depending on size. I'm guessing tablespoon:

    Bakers, it's one of just a few of the old one I know on sight!

    Back to the first question - that server should be for "jelly" (as in jellied cranberry sauce.)

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I love the design of the spoon's bowl in the first one!
