Description: | Cast copper alloy blade, probably from a candle snuffer, with two rivet holes at the back of the blade to attach to the extinguishing tray, and a large extant rivet used as a pivot between the blade and the other arm of the snuffer, developed from the two handles. The blade has a recessed edge on one side, indented 4 mm in from each end.Egan (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 83, Fig.71, No.845, which is dated to c.1550-1600, but this example is likely to be later, c.1600-1800 (Geoff Egan pers comm).
