A late Victorian small silver sifter spoon with fluted bowl, hallmarked James Deakin & Sons, Sheffield 1896. Together with a late Victorian caddy spoon having a shell bowl, also hallmarked Sheffield 1896, maker's mark indistinct, and two pairs of Georgian silver sugar nips each with scissor action and shell grips, struck with lion passant and maker's mark only. Weight 2.76 ozt (85.7 grams). (4).

All four pieces displaying expected general wear, tarnishing, surface marks and scratches consistent with age and use. The bowls of the sifter and caddy spoon appear in good overall condition. Likely repair to one of the pairs of sugar nips. The arms are slightly out of alignment, more noticeable on the larger pair. Hallmarks are mainly legible, distortion to some of the maker's marks.
