Self-Extinguishing Candles. German, ca. 1920. At the shot of a pistol or the magician?s command, three candles resting in a nickel-plated candelabra instantly extinguish. Assistant-operated mechanism in stand. Base outfitted with pins, attaching candelabra to table. 15? high. One small piece lacking (not affecting working). General wear, good overall. Uncommon.
