1. e
2. a bear?
3.???
Its 2.5 inches long and a inch wide.If I had to guess im leaning toward a napkin holder it appears to be in circle but obv flat.any help is appreciated

the Small case old english letter e in that shaped stamp is similar to ones that date to 1920 and the lion is the britsh symbol of sterling the bust image to the right I just can't make out to well .

I appreciate you help, I knew it was silver when I pulled it. The site is 1920's and if i can manage to clean it up better I will update you on the third mark. As posted my gut says its a napkin holder. Well first hunt and first silver of the year not a bad start:)
