Comments

The small ladle has a relatively heavy bowl with a shallow lip at the rim.  It attaches to a wrought-iron handle with two iron rivets that pass through a short strap attached to the handle end by a third rivet. The flattened handle ends in a curved tang that serves as a hook.

The heavier than normal bowl and the additional piecing of the attachment to the handle are unusual.
