Snuff Spoons or Early Salt Spoons?

Geoffrey Wills, in his book Silver: for pleasure and investment, has this to say about salt spoons: "[E]arly eighteenth century examples are miniatures of ordinary spoons.  They were followed by some in the shape of a ladle and others with a bowl in the form of a shovel."  He goes on to say the following about snuff spoons: "[M]iniatures of ordinary spoons were made during the eighteenth century for keeping inside a box to assist in taking snuff" (130).

I recently found two small rattail spoons, pictured below.

Size comparison of spoons, left to right: Archer snuff spoon, Ladyman snuff spoon, Ladyman teaspoon, Ladyman tablespoon

The first, by Andrew Archer, is 3 1/8 inches long and, if I squint my eyes just right, the second mark looks like the lion's head erased.  For its size it has a good gauge.  The second spoon is just over 3 1/4 inches in length and is made by John Ladyman.  The complete maker's mark is not present, but comparing it to other pieces in my collection with his mark, I feel confident attributing it to Ladyman.  The lion's head erased is clear.

So, are these snuff spoons or early 18th century salt spoons?
