Georgian gentleman officer's traveling brass chambersticks, nicknamed "Brighton Buns." The sconces, once unscrewed, fit into the two halves which are then screwed together to form a circular box. These are of heavy cast brass.

See "The Brass Book" by Peter, Nancy and Herbert Schiffer, page 178/9 for reference. The heavier the brass the earlier, the lighter the brass, the date is later.
