Pewter Capitol Candle Snuffer

A unique variation of the traditional pewter candle snuffer, the Capitol Dome Candle Snuffer is an interesting conversation piece. In the middle of the 19th century, it was considered very improper for a lady to blow out a candle. A solution had to be found. A candle extinguisher was created, now commonly called a candle snuffer. Our pewter candle snuffer is not only proper, but patriotic as well!
