Sterling-What is it? TIA

Hi everyone. Hoping someone can tell me what these are for. They are marked "Harris & Shafer Co." Sterling 9224. The cup section measures 3" across with a 2 1/2" long handle. 1 1/4" high. Thanks for taking a look and any help at all.

They are a cup holder. Without the cups they are likely only worth melt price.

 

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply.

They're ramekin holders, regardless of manufacturer, most used standard Lenox liners...

Likely date to right around the 1910s-20s, Harris & Shafer was a Washington, DC jeweler - no maker's mark?

Manufacturer should be F.M. Whiting.

Hi. There's a W inside a circle with 3 lines on each side(like cat whiskers?). Sorry, I can't take a photo right now. Thanks so much for the help.

Thanks again. It does look like their mark.

If all the sterling is melted then what is left will be scarce
