Patent 1884 Lamp / Light Holder
The patent for this is unclear as to where or when this light holder was to be used, or
by who. The patent shows it holding a typical lamp glass. I
guess that is the nature of marketing, just get the idea
out there and see who wants it. I have never seen one before, have you?.
It is a great casting, and a great logo on the top of a shining light rays
that look like a flower. A nice piece of early
lighting.

George III Brass Push-up Candlesticks
This pair of early brass
candlesticks have a great form and presence. They stand just about 10" tall
and the bases are 4" square. The stepped bases are very nicely done as are
the main tube that ends in an unusual design cap with dropped corners. They
are period and authentic. The candle push-up feature works well on one and
seems to be stuck on the other. It looks as if one of these fell over in the
past and one of the dropped corners on the top portion was bent / cracked and has
been repaired. There is a grey line of what appears to be lead, solder or something
similar. It looks to be a very early repair and adds character and authenticity
to these. Very pretty.

Ember Tongs
The idea here was to take live embers from one fire source
to another stove or place you needed to start a fire. They are 18" long and
have a nice ball finial on the top and hammered flat grabber at the working end.
Nice form.

Forged Iron Hooks
The larger one is 14" long and the smaller is just over
7" long. Both pieces are Blacksmith made and the smaller one has twisted arms.
The hook end of the larger one is so close to being closed up that i do not know
what its intended use was, but it is nicely made and displays well. I have been
told these are pot hooks.

2 Steelyard
Scales
The brass scale marked A. Stevens Boston
with a large Eagle logo is very unusual. I assume this had to do with Maritime use
being brass to keep it from rusting or corroding in that coastal climate or
that it was meant for use aboard a ship. You see hundreds of iron
versions for each one of these seen.
The small iron one below is early as evidenced by the look of the hand forged hooks.
The weight is permanently attached, so this one is proper and could be put back into use.
