Civil War Chamberstick Candle Holder w/adjuster

This is another nice piece being offered; it is an early 19th century tin candle holder. It stands 4” high with a diameter of 5 1/4” at the base. It has the finger ring, and the height adjuster is present. It shows signs of use and has a great untouched patina finish.

In my book “The Civil War Soldier – His Personal Items”, I go into detail about the use of candles and candlesticks, and just how important they were for every soldier. There is a similar example that was recovered at Gettysburg (see pictures). It would make a nice addition to any Civil War collection and great alongside a letter and pen.
