I wonder if it's part of a victorian table setting... maybe a utensil rest? It's not like anything I recall seeing before.

Too bad there are no makers mark or hallmarks. It would be 64-1/2 % silver.

Very cool jnkhntr
Just a WAG, a cloth weight - drapes or tablecloth perhaps
Does it have any 'grip' when it's closed?

Re: Garage sale What's IT ? 645 is it silver?
the numbers are most likly to mark the set to keep the parts together. Can you give us a photo of the inside of them?

Re: Garage sale What's IT ? 645 is it silver?
I think this would be a bit heavy for the hair, it's a chunk! Also there is no latch or anything to keep it closed. This leads me back to the it's a weight theory. It does have a Victorian look to it. I 'm not sure specifically the picture you're requesting, the 645 pictured is on the inside near the hinge. Thanks

The photo needed is of the inside, all of it. The hing is such it has been spread a bit to far. So far it appears to be some sort of rest. It had a place to be monogrammed also. It may have originally been attached to some thing else.

Re: Garage sale What's IT ? 645 is it silver?
Some kind of book hinge? How far will it open? Does it completely shut? I also would like to see the inside and some more different angles. The .645 is probably a .645 per cent silver mark.

Re: Garage sale What's IT ? 645 is it silver?
It is a bread server. (it should be lightly spring loaded to keep it open) My wife has one. We used to be in the diplomatic corps and entertained a lot, so she has every silver serving piece known to man. Yours is a very nice one.
Edited to add pictures of my wife's. Not as fancy as yours...

Does yours have a maker, the hing knobs appear to be the same on the original post.

Re: Garage sale What's IT ? 645 is it silver?
Mine has no markings at all. It is a more modern piece that was probably made in India. I can't recall where my wife picked it up, but if I know her, it was probably an estate sale. Bread servers are a thing of the past, not in common use today. The original poster's looks like it could actually be an antique piece.
Thanks Montana Jim and good call on the serving piece. (I'm retired USAF too.)

Re: Garage sale What's IT ? 645 is it silver?
Thanks for the info. From the hinge part I would say they both were made by the same company, just my opinion.
