Extinguishers in the 18th century were conical metal caps that were held over a flame to put it out. This one is made of iron but they could have been made of any period metal.
This is what i would have had back in the 18th century. Its compact and does the job well. I highly recommend this, especially for you candle lovers like me.
Very well made. Heavy duty to last for ages. Very authentic looking.
Works just fine. Doesn't get too hot.
