c1905 - Sid Yates, a blacksmith at the Leonard Mine in Butte, Montana, created four candlesticks c1905. Three of the sticks were made as gifts for his sons, and he kept the fourth--a personal stick. Two of the sticks made for his sons were "detachable models" because the hook and claw detach from the stick by pushing on the wide thumb lever and sliding off the assembly. We are proud to offer Sid Yates` personal candlestick in this lot: a 12.5" detachable model with a straight, unadorned spike, a notched hook, and a wide thumb lever. Pressing on the thumb lever of this particular model allows you to remove the hook from the side of the spike, rather than having to shimmy the assembly down the length of the spike on the other detachable model we have offered in this sale. The sides of this stick are clearly marked "Sid Yates" and "Butte Mont". -62206
