A rare pair of early 19th Century candle snuffers / snips on associated Old Sheffield Plated tray.  

The snips bear no makers marks, but are marked with 'Patent' and 'Warranted' to the interior.  

The snips have a beautiful and strong double action releasing an internal blade.

The condition is reasonable but the snuffers have a fair bit of copper bleed and one small split to one of the thumb holes. The tray has some copper bleed to the patterned areas and is tinned to the base.

Total weight approx 272g.

Length of snips approx 18cm. Height approx 4cm.

Tray measures approx 23cm x 9.5cm
