SPRING ACTION RUSHLIGHT HOLDER: 1820-1850

Description

The more accomplished  blacksmith adopted the spring action rushlight early in the 19th century   rather than using the counterweight. This is a very nice dainty spring action rushlight holder with a curved arrow foot square stem and rectangular jaws. Note the very nice design of the  pointed thumb piece. An outstanding 9″ tall piece for any collection. (CLTK) List Price: $650
