EPNS Bar Spoon with Weird Other End; What Purpose?

The shaft is 5mm; bowl is ~1 3/4" X ~1", LOA is 11".
There is a mark on an edge of the bowl backside, but between the tarnish an' my shaky hands I've been unable to get a decent pic of it...I'll polish a bit, then try again.
I'll be most grateful to know what the notched end was designed to accomplish, if anyone knows. I can't see it successfully mashing mint leaves...bwdik? Thanks for lookin'!

 

A little long for an iced tea spoon for a single glass, but maybe for a pitcher of same?

 

Could be, I suppose...but my thought is that it's a bartender's tool...it's too heavy an', as you say, too long for individual service.

 

Stirring spoon of some sort probably. Martinis maybe?

 

a bar spoon , with a muddler end.... that I think could mash or chop or crush.....well enuf to mix any drink..

not all muddlers are for mushing....

 

Yes, obviously that...but what function does the split other end serve?

 

It would work well for pushing the juice out of a dropped-in lemon wedge. Or similar.

 

Removing pips from fruit or from the drink if they fall in? Or maybe it serves no purpose and is purely ornamental or a logo of some sort.
