I found this sieve looking silver object yesterday at a field. The silver stamps states that the item was made in 1883. The lid which looks like a sieve can be opened so I thought that it might've been a silver lid to a fancy glass salt shaker. But I haven't seen anything similar to my find on the web, so if you could help me identify this find it would help me! Here are some photos of it:

I also found these two unidentified copper-alloy objects which you also could help identify:

Here's a US cent to compare in size with the finds:

If you have any clue on what these items could be please let me know! Thank you for reading any happy hunting
 

Looks like a ‘shaker’ for spices. But I am NOT an expert, and defiantly looks interestinf

Your first item kind of looks like what was used for in steeping tea. The first object in the second picture is a compass.

The second item could very well be some kind of compass divider! Thank you for the possible id

Thank you, that's exactly what it is! After looking online on pipes with silver lids they look quite similar to mine, thank you for the id!

Here's a picture of a pipe lid more similar to mine:

Item 2 may be a folding tobacco pipe tool.

Item 3 a canteen or a flask spout? It seems to have a lot of wear around the top...
