Miners Candlesticks / Sticking Tommies The
top one is a pretty common form, but it is clearly stamped / marked Washington
on the bar. I read in a guide for these that this was for a mine
in CA. and that this is a pretty rare variation. The second one is a twisted or coiled wire version candlestick. I believe it is a manufactured piece. It is a bit rough. Both of these have been in a collection in WA. for a number of years.

Studebaker
Wheelbarrow The story of how John Studebaker
at the age of 19 came to Placerville, California looking for gold and instead
began a business making wheelbarrows can be found on numerous sites on the internet
and elsewhere. Finding an original Studebaker wheelbarrow is a different
matter altogether, and even finding pictures of original ones can be difficult.
Well here is one in the flesh, and a once in a lifetime opportunity to own it. This wheelbarrow is not to be confused with later mass produced examples, this one dates from the 1850's and its construction details with through mortises and tennons attest to that. I do not have any actual documentation, but when compared to Studebaker's early work and other wheelbarrows you can see in a couple of museums online this one is a pretty good match. Overall it is in fine condition noting one of the removable side boards is not complete. It is sitting up on a shelf where additional pictures were hard to take, but if interested I will get it down and take better ones for you. This can be described in three simple words, and it deserves to be in a museum---whether that is run by the State or in your private barn does not matter. Rare ----- Rare ----- Rare

Miners Lunch Pails These miners lunch pails are
both in pretty nice condition and make for a nice display. They
illustrate how miners or other workers of yesteryear dealt with lunch period.
I will bet it was not an hour, and that there were no martinis stashed in the
top. What life was like for the common guy before fast food became the
norm.
