    Is this some kind of church or domestic candle lighter ?? The base is decorated with shamrock rose and thistle design. It holds a brass rod with finial on top the rod has a slider which pushes a candle wick out of one end. Can anyone tell me about this please and does it have any value?

    Wonder if it could be for lighting gas lamps.
