20th Century Bicycle Lantern Carriage Lamp in Original Box   This lantern is like NOS.  The box shows some wear & tear from being shuffled about on the shelf, but the light is mint.  Check out the pictures of the box, it is really quite unusual.

English 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.

Single Brass Candlestick   I do not recognize this form, and it is not marked anywhere that I can see.  It looks to be a very early and I believe it is correct.  It stands just about 10" tall, and the base is 4 1/4" Dia.     This and most of the other lighting pieces listed came from an auction held in the 80's, here on the West coast but the description was not very specific.  It is jointed at the base and about 2" down, but the thread sizes are different and it can not be made into a short candlestick. There is a small imperfection in the top candle bell portion as if the pour was not thick enough when it was cast.  Look at the base and construction details and you can sense the age.   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.  .

2 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.
