Description: | Conical bowl of a cast copper-alloy candle snuffer, complete. The surface was probably tinned and it is possible that the metal had a high tin content to start with. the handle is missing; only a hook on one side of the bowl remains. The lower part of the coin is bent and dented, but complete. It has a moulded decoration half way up and a small ball-shaped terminal at the tip. Though not very old this is a nice and almost complete example of a candle snuffer.
