Sterling silver shields w/designs

[Bob in SoMd]

Found these last week - location active since the 1940's. Size is 1 inch x 5/8 inch. They are stamped sterling with small holes at the 10 and 2 O'Clock positions. They have different Mediterranean cities, Livorno (Italy) and Rhodes (Greece). Any ideas?

They look like the tops of souvenir spoons.

Thanks Taz42o!

I suspected the same. It would be great to see a spoon with one still attached. Yours looks great. Does yours have a stamp on the reverse or holes in the upper left and right?

This is what I thought they might be since there's two holes in the corners.
A wine bottle collar??? This one is sterling and most older ones are. Any other suggestions? HH, Nancy
