The Vintage Sterling Candle Snuffer is a classic and elegant piece made of high-quality sterling silver (.925). This antique silver candle accessory adds a touch of sophistication to any room with its timeless design. The candle snuffer's composition ensures durability and a beautiful luster, making it a perfect addition to any collection of antiques or silverware. There is a makers mark I do not recognize. (Looks like a W with fleur de lis on the sides) A very sophisticated way to put out a candle with no smoke!
