Description

Hand forged iron candle snuffer with spherical iron side plate box. 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, though are unevenly pivoted. Very minimal and practical, no decorations.
