About the size of a normal pair of scissors, six to seven inches long. Don't know history. Belongs to an elderly friend who got it from his father. Made of metal

It is called a Candle Wick Trimmer.

Wick trimmer sounds right because of the size of the cutting edge but may confused with a cigar nubber.

That's exactly what it is; "A candle Wick Trimmer" ....the sharp end was for digging the wax out of the socket and the box section was to keep the wax & cut wick from falling on the tablecloth when the wick was cut. BOB
