Offered here is an original 1890's or earlier blacksmith made Wire Wound Underground Miners Candlestick. Measures 9.0" long. A well made miners candlestick, and the only way to have wound the heavy steel so well would have been to get the forge very hot to bend this single piece of steel into a candlestick. I have seen contemporary reproductions of wire candlesticks, and they do not have the good age patina that this candlestick does. I can guarantee the authenticity of this one as it takes many decades to get that 'rusty' overall look. Great display piece of mining history. Thanks for looking!
