Sugar Nips
White refined sugar (from the South) arrived in a paper wrapped cone shape and was broken with plierslike "cutters" before being ground to granules in a mortar.  The rod extention was used to help break up the chunks.  Beautifully made, with incised decoration, these were finished by a Whitesmith.  The patina is excellent.  Circa 1760-1820.  A "Cut" above the ordinary.
