c1890-Lot of 7: various iron candlesticks, multiple types. 1 is a Varney-made "Royal" stick, approx. 11" long. The thimble and hook are 1 unit, non-adjustable. 2 is a nearly identical Varney stick, 10" long, with the same thimble and hook configuration. 3 & 4 are true blacksmith make, unconventional and unique. It is a "Claw-type" abbreviated candle holder, held together with a loose rivet. It measures approx. 4"x4". Workmanship is crude, but this is a rare piece.
5 is another custom blacksmith stick, where the ring becomes the thimble, which has a thumb lever. It measures 9.75" long. 6 is the same custom blacksmith type, with a closed ring of square wire, and a thimble with a thumb lever. The workmanship here is rather crude again. It measures 10" long. 7 is a unique lamp holder, with an attached spike for driving into timbers. All riveted metal construction, cut on a bias, it measures 6" long x 3" in dia. HKA#64397
