This is an extremely early period candlestick, from pre 1880. This model of candlestick showcases several of Cleaves trademarks, including the designs and name on the thimble. But note that the name is inscribed upside down on the thimble. Also note the awkward position of the thumb lever, which was a common theme with Cleaves’ made candlesticks. It is possible that this is a newly discovered Cleaves candlestick that was previously unknown. This model is not featured in Wilson and Bobrink’s book A Collector’s Guide to Antique Miners’ Candlestick. It measures 11” and is made out of steel. -62006
