462 is what we call a "Marrow Spoon". Used when fly fishing.
When you catch your first fish this is put down the fishes throat
into its stomach and used to scoop out the contents so they can
be examined, so you can determine what the fish have been
mainly feeding on. Then you can tie on a suitable fly/lure to
enable you to catch more fish. (The difficult bit is catching
the first one!)

It does look similar to a marrow spoon but according to the seller it was
used for a different purpose.
