candle snuffers
Wick-capping bell tools
Candle snuffers are scissor-like tools with small cupped blades used to extinguish candles by cutting and catching the wick.
The cup traps the wick and smothers the flame without producing smoke or scattering hot wax.
Before electric lighting, snuffers were common household items.
A simpler cone-shaped device that caps the flame is also called a snuffer.
