Antique Miners’ Candlesticks

by Wendell E. Wilson 

“The miner’s candlestick, in all of its many varieties, is certainly the single most important and evocative artifact of early mining in the American West.”

A comprehensive and definitive look at miners’ candlesticks, the predominant lighting device in Western mines during the Candlelight Era (1865-1915)—a unique chapter in American mining history. Over 750 illustrations, including many underground mining scenes showing candles in use, and hundreds of rare and varied antique candleholders from famous mining areas. Every known type of miner’s candlestick is illustrated and discussed. Click on the above image to see a sample. Click the link below to order your copy:
