A Goodman & Co. Utensil Question

Can anyone help me identify what this item is (cake server?) and if possible tell me something about the manufacturer? The name on the underside of the handle is A Goodman & Co… The hallmark under the name looks somewhat like a trombone or a primitive turning lathe. Any information would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time posting anything, so I hope I attach the pictures correctly.
Thanks.[/list]

Thanks for joining us. I can’t find any reference to a silver manufacturer by that name. Nor a clue on the purpose.

Uncle Vic

Thanks for your response.
