Hand Forged Miners Tool Iron Sticking Tommy Candle Stick

During the early mining days, there were no lights strung upon the ceiling as is the case today, so prior to the 1800s, miners would use this tool, called a Sticking Tommy, to help light the way. This hand forged miner candle stick was used by putting a candle in the holder, and then the spike was driven into a wooden beam or rock crevice to hold the light in place so the miners could work. This particular candle stick features a hook, which a miner would have used to attach the sticking tommy to his cap. This mining artifact is a great tool to share the mining trade with family, display on your mantle, or next to your bedside table at your cabin. Sticking Tommy measures 9 3/4" long, and 2 1/2" wide with room for an average tapered candle. Candle opening is 3/4".
