THIS AUCTION IS FOR 2 ANTIQUE CHURCH CANDLE LIGHTER/SNUFFERS.THESE CHARMING OLD ALTER CANDLE SNUFFERS WERE RECENTLY PURCHASED AT AN AUCTION OF A CHURCH THAT CLOSED. THESE ARE OLDER ITEMS THAT WERE FOUND IN THE ATTIC, AND HAVE NOT BEEN USED FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS. THEY WERE STORED IN THE ATTIC WHEN NEW LIGHTER/SNUFFERS WERE PURCHASED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.THE ONE WITH THE (LIGHTER) OAK WOOD HANDLE MEASURES ABOUT 40 1/2" LONG, X 8 1/2" WIDE AT THE TOP FROM THE LIGHTER TO THE SNUFFER BELL. THE DIAMETER OF THE WOOD HANDLE IS ABOUT 1" AND THE PUSH PIN ON THE SIDE WHERE YOU PUSH OUT THE WICK, GLIDES VERY SMOOTHLY AND DOES COME WITH THE WICK IN IT. BOTH OF THESE LIGHTERS WERE JUST DUSTED OFF AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES THEY STILL HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT COLORS OF CANDLE WAX STILL ON THEM, JUST THE WAY I PURCHASED THEM.THE ONE WITH THE (DARKER) MAHOGANY COLORED HANDLE, MEASURES ABOUT 40" LONG X 10 1/4' WIDE, WITH A HANDLE ABOUT 1" IN DIAMETER. THIS ONE SHOWS MORE WEAR THAT THE OAK HANDLED ONE, AND MAY BE OLDER, OR PERHAPS JUST HAD AN ALTER BOY THAT DIDN'T DO AS MUCH MAINTENANCE, ON HIS LIGHTER.THIS LIGHTER'S PUSH PIN FOR THE WICK, MOVES ABOUT THE SAME AS THE OTHER ONE DOES, AND SLIDES WELL AND VERY EASY TO USE. THE BRASS DOES SHOW MORE TARNISH ON IT FROM THE WOOD HANDLE TO THE SNUFFER BELL, AND IT TOO STILL HAS ALL OF THE ORIGINAL WAX read more
