New images of HS to Your judgement!
Possibly this is not the milk creamer but rather the Catholic oil can, because it is very small and the hinges from the cap (cap is missing)

@silvermistletoe
This is very interesting, I have a few questions:
1. On the first "can" there is no assaying mark and the town mark doesn't look like Mitau's deer, why?
2. Could you show some bigger and sharper pictures of the marks on object number two, the creamer? Alternative tell the initials and year on the assaying mark and maker's mark?
3. The assayer's initials on the spoon seem to be ЛД or ПД. Who is he? I know only two assayers using ПД , Pjotr Doroschin and Pjotr Dutkin none of them assayed in Mitau and nobody with the initials ЛД, so ?
4 My question of is HS Schmidt or Schiff is still unanswered, which one is it?

Thank you in advance.
