Comments

The pair of cone-shaped snuffers is made with a circular strap handle soldered along the seam that creates the cone shapes.  These simple snuffers are very small, and not of a practical size.  Moreover, they exhibit no evidence of use, suggesting that they were made for modern collectors.
