Description

Brass candle snuffer with spherical brass side plate box. Is small and portable, with attached handmade brass chain consisting of ten (10) links and one (1) hook. The chain is attached by two (2) hooks onto the finger rings and branch out to be connected into one chain by a small circular link. Scissors-like in form, the base and sides of the domed snuff box are attached to the inner blade, while a flat cover for the side of the box is attached to the outer blade. Still in working order, the riveted blades swing to full extension and close to a grooved fit, though the tip of the outer blade is missing.
