"Snuffers" are a pair of scissors made by John Buckett in 1765-66. They are made of silver and are decorated with an engraved floral pattern, a common motif in 18th century silverware. The piece is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Snuffers were used to trim the wicks of candles, and they were an essential part of a gentleman's or lady's dressing set.
