Hollow decorative spoon?

[Cutaplug]

Is this simply a decorative piece or something else? It's hollow so I can't imagine it being used unless maybe for something dry like sugar.

I would guess its a hair brush, missing some wood and bristles or whatever the brush would be made of. But its silver so its a great find no matter what it is. How long is it? Its hard to tell in the picture.

Yup, a hair brush. The back is probably horn, as in cow horn or something like that. Some where made with tortise shell and others had sterling silver backs.

Late 19th century early 20th century.
