Description

Iron candle snuffer with iron domed side plate box. Scissors-like in form, the base and sides of the 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 pivoted blades swing to full extension, secured by a large iron rivet. Very minimal and practical, no decorations.
