Did you know that candle snuffers date back to the 17th century? The designs may change, but the function remains the same! While many people simply blow out a candle, the best way to extinguish the flame is by using a candle snuffer, like this elegant Acorn Candle Snuffer from Danforth Pewter.

The acorn shaped bell at the end of the oak leaf and twig handle puts out a flame by cutting off oxygen to it, thus reducing the soot and carbon emission when the flame goes out. The end result is a more consistent and manageable wick, extending the life of your candle and a safer way to extinguish the flame by keeping smoke and soot out of your face and lungs.

• The Acorn Candle Snuffer comes packaged in a gift box.
• Measures 5 3/8" long.
• Hand crafted by Danforth Pewter in Middlebury, Vermont
