For your consideration is this vintage mosquito candle produced by Victrylite Candle Company in the 1960s. Inside the box has the date "JUL 24 1963" stamped onto it. The back of the box reads as follows: "A MOSKEETO LITE is an aid in reducing annoyance from mosquitoes, in candle form. In this product are blended together Oil of Citronella and N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide. Both are continuously dispersed into the surrounding air by the heat activation of the candle flame. While burning, a MOSKEETO LITE has an effective radius from 2 to 3 feet per candle (larger in protected areas). For best results, use at least two candles in still air placed from 3 to 8 feet apart." I'm uncertain what the vapor-booster ring is made of and recommend replacement of the wax if use is desired. The piece is patented under number US2775006A but fails to provide materials used to create the vaporizing ring. The green glass jar measures 3.8 inches in diameter x 3.9 inches tall. The box is quite worn.
