October 7, 20178 yr Forgot I had these pictures from a few weeks back. A few mining displays at the local fall fair. A little different way of making a candle holder, Round for the hook flattened at the candle, octagon for the loop and then square for the spike. Thinking the hardest part would be getting the material spread just so for the holder and ensuring the ends alternate just right to overlap.
October 7, 20178 yr Is that a brass tube in the hinge of the candle well? And how is it attached - solder or spring action? What is the material in the tube?
October 8, 20178 yr Author I don't remember a tube in the candle loop. there is a little steel brush and it was held in via spring tension.
October 8, 20178 yr I haven't seen a sticking tommy with a brush before; but would expect great regional and temporal variation in them!
