spandit Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Saw these in a lot at the local auction - there were a couple of pairs. I've since worked out what they are for but thought I'd let others see if they know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Simon beat me to it. Looks very much like a candle snuffer/trimmer. We had a similar one at the farmhouse back in the 40s when i was just a whipper snapper and we still used candles upstairs and gas lamps.
