Description: | 18th century cast cu-alloy candle snuffer, broken. One of its legs is missing; the other is complete except for the decorative moulding just above the loop. The box section which captures the cut-off wick is undamaged. One of the three legs is still in place, the other two missing; with all three legs the snuffer would have been allowed to stand trivet-fashion.Similar to an example in Lindsey (1927:159, Fig 40), no.B, dated to the late 18th and early 19th century.
