A replica of a style that has its origins in the pre-Georgian era (see Old Friends item 2971f), this pair of sugar nips carry hallmarks in two places for London, sterling silver, 1921, and maker HF, likely Harrison Fisher, which was a Sheffield based firm.

They measure 4 5/8" long, are 1 3/4" across at the handles when closed, and open to a span of 3 5/8" at the shell grips. Weight is .9 T. oz.

Each arm is cast solid silver with a round finger grip attached to arms that are a series of cee scrolls. The arms cross at a disk hinge that is joined with a rivet.

They are in excellent condition, without bends, breaks, cracks, or repairs. The hinge is secure and has minimal play, while the finish is bright.
