Or at least I presume it is a food thingy.... Not completely sure. But if someone can ID it for me I would really appreciate it! It has silver hallmarks but beyond that I have no idea.....

| I believe that is a candle snuffer. |
|
| I agree; the top part is representative of a flame. I'll bet LindaC will know for sure. |
|
| I don't think it is a snuffer as silver conducts heat and if you hold it while snuffing...ouchy! It almost looks like spreader but too small for that. Beats me! |
|
| It's much too small to be a snuffer. It fits a finger. I suppose you can slip it on a finger to cut something. dcarch |
|
| Almost looks like a Snuffer, might be one that is left on the candle, top part resembles a Flame. I have never seen one like this. PK: they were made in Silver. Alexa: If it is a Snuffer it was probably made in England. They did Snuffers in Silver. It is probably late 1800's ? Google, English Hallmarks, maybe you can find the origin. LOU |
|
| Country of origin would help....what do the marks indicate? I am thinking a cheese tryer....used to cut a wedge from a wheel of cheese. Not a snuffer.... |
|
| Might be a Bakers, or Fruit Decorator Knife ????? LOU |
|
| Thanks for all the ideas. I don't think it is a snuffer, but that gave me an idea. Could it be a decoration to put on top of a candle when it isn't burning? It does look like a flame, no there isn't any soot residue on the inside. It would fit on a finger, but you wouldn;t have a lot of control over it. I'm glad I'm not the only one stumped by this one... more research later this morning. Thanks again everyone Alexa |

I polished is up, and what looked like a hallmark was tarnish. It is marked Sterling, and I'm sure it is old. What do you think about the following photos?   Alexa |
|
| Try this one instead....
And no, I haven't polished the rest of the silver either LOL! Alexa |
|
| By George, I think you've got it, Alexa! Sue |

| Now that's a new one to me! Don't think I have ever seen one of those.....candle toppers? But it looks sort of right, Alexa. I was going to guess a 'decorative' shot glass! ha! Teresa |
|
| I am the first one to admit, it was a WAG on my part.... but I do sort of like the way it looks! LOLOL! Alexa |
|
| Where did you get it? |
|
| Do I get a Gold Star ????? LOU |
