Up for your offerding pleasure is aVintage Mining Candlestick Sticking Tommy Helmet And Candle Holder Equipment. This mining candlestick isin very good condition (see attached photos). This type of miner\'s equipment was typically used in mines as part of the essential equipment needed to do their very difficult work under the earth. Prior to the mid-1800s, miners secured candles to their caps or the rocky walls of the mine using a clump of clay. Sometime in the 1860’s, Comstock area miners invented the miner’s candlestick by bending the end of a spike to hold the candle. The spike then could be jabbed into wooden support beams or crevices in the stone walls to light the way. The first candlestick was patented in 1872 and sometime soon after a hook was added to the many emerging designs. There are no chips, parts,or chunks missing on this candlestick.There is a small gob of solder at the base of the helmet hook, but after inspecting with a jewelers loupe, I can find no break. Perhaps it was for reinforcement at that potentially weak location. Theminer\'s candlestick measures 3-1/4\"T X10\"L X 3-1/4\"W and weighs6.2oz. I\'ll ship USPS Parcel Post Mail unless instructed to do otherwise. So buyit,use it,or simply display it, but just don\'t miss out on it.
