Circa 1800s Wrought Iron Miners Candle Holder Sticking Tommy or Tommy Stick

Thank you for viewing our Store,

We have for sale an Antique Wrought Iron Miners Candle Holder Sticking Tommy or Tommy Stick.
This is a cast-iron candle holder that was used by miners to provide their working light. Before electric lamps and carbide lamps, candles were used to provide light in some mines for most of the 19th century. This candle holder has a spike that would have been driven into a framing timber or suitable crack and a hook that could be hung on a nail or the miners hat, it could also be set upon an appropriate surface near the miner’s work space. (Info from the Smithsonian)
This candle stick holder has a wonderful twist in the long spike which gives it a very craftsman look. Will look great on your fireplace mantel.
