Original Civil War vintage lighting commonly referred to as “donut” candlesticks because of their appearance and size when collapsed and screwed together for travel. This offering is a complete four piece set with the two screw together halves and two holder pieces. An interesting variant of the fore frequently observed type constructed entirely from spun brass, this example is fashioned with a tinned outer housing extra protection. These traveling candleholders are approximately 3 ½” in diameter and are complete and in excellent condition with an eye pealing natural age patina A favorite of the space and weight conscious soldier who carried all he had on his back or in his haversack, original examples have become equally prized by lighting, Americana and Civil War collectors wishing to round out a display with that special personal look. please note: ALL ITEMS ARE CURRENT & AVAILABLE UNLESS MARKED SOLD!!.
