Silver 3in Plate Identification

I want to sell these small "plates", but to be honest I don't have a idea what they can be used for other than possible coasters. Any ideas, and how much could they be worth? 

 

They seem to be from the Watrous Mfg Co. in Wallington, Connectuit.

Have you looked up Watrous on Replacements or looks for a site about that company and their patterns?

 

They could be sauce bowls, water bowls for cleaning your fingers or any of of dozens of uses.

 

We have some similar dishes we use as cat food bowls.  But then, they are only marked China.

Great Moms turn them off first.

Thank you for the replies, but they are way too shallow to be bowls. I don't have them in front of me, but they are no more than 3/4 (+/-) in height.

They are coasters.  You could probably use them as individual ashtrays. Or make a nice wall display out of them.

Thank you - I assumed as much, but wanted to make sure. Before selling, should I polish or leave them as is and how much can I sell these for?

Leave as is and sell as a set.  I would say about $3-5 each so $18-30 for the set.
