Can somebody help me Id this?

It looks like it opens and closes like scissors but it does not. It is about 5 inches long and either silver or silver plated. The cup on the end is very shallow and shaped like an eye

That is one thing that I do not think that it is. Because of the shape of the cup at the end. It is shaped like an eye and is very shallow

I'm with Jeff on this one, but still need to see the whole thing.

 

[Fondots]

Bruce I posted an attachment that shows the entire thing. I can see the attachment on my end but I have to click it to open it

 

[Bruce R]

How did you post the first one?

 

[Fondots]

I honestly don't know. LOL. I did it with my phone. Can you not see the attachment with in the thread?

An image of the entire device was posted yesterday evening/last night, I think (<-- ugh, that's dangerous!) around 10pm central time? It looks as though this detailed end holds/presses from the top while a lower and shorter blade cuts from the bottom up, in a scissors fashion.

 

[jeff of pa]

should be able to see it now.

I'm sticking with Snuffer , untill proven wrong

Yes I was trying to post it last night and did not know that it went through. I think I had posted it in the wrong forum. Again they do not open and close like scissors like they look like they would. They don't open at all they are just supposed to look like they do I guess

 

[kcm]

They don't open "at all"?? Can you flip it over and take another pic?

We both thought snuffer as well, but the scissors look is still throwing us!

 

[Bruce R]

Is it made to open and close and just stuck, or is it all one piece?

 

[Bruce R]

I'm not sure, but you may have posted a fancy coke-spoon

 

[digger460]

Need more pics. Any marks on back. Try the old fashioned way, "The computer"

 

[Fondots]

They aren't supposed to open. It is just one piece

 

[Bruce R]

If it's made to look like a tool (sissors) but can't function like the tool it represents, then it must be an ornament, you wouldn't make a tool with a handle shaped like a pair of sissors, it just doesn't fit the hand.

I do think it is a candle snuffer.

Unusual and gorgeous.

Good luck.
