Budge, Toddie and Howard are three adorable limited edition candle snuffers based on rare originals modeled by James Hartley in 1880 and last reproduced in 1976. 'Helens's Babies' was a best selling book by John Habbertson, published in 1876, and tells the story of Helen's two boys, Budge and Toddie, cared for by her bachelor brother Harry while she and her Husband went on holiday. In one of their adventures they dressed up in Harry's clothes and this was the inspiration for the snuffers. The third snuffer in the series shows a boy dressed up in a sailor suit, either putting on or removing a large overcoat, and is believed to represent James Hadley's son Howard, showing that they are little boys beneath the adult clothes. Each is a limited edition of 750
