Vintage Wood and Wrought Iron Adjustable Spiral Amish Courting Candle

Description

View Vintage Wood and Wrought Iron Adjustable Spiral Amish Courting Candle with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. This is a vintage spiral courting candle holder, often associated with early American or Amish traditions. This unique holder served as a timepiece for parents during their daughter's courtship. Once the candle burned down to the top of the metal rim and went out, it was a mutually agreed upon signal that the suitor's visit was over and it was time to leave. However, the metal lever on the side allowed the parent to lower the candle faster...
