Vtg Courting Candle Iron Wood Country Primitive Farmhouse:
$14.00
a vintage-style spiral courting candle holder. These candle holders were historically used to time a suitor's visit with a daughter.
The candle's height can be adjusted by moving it up or down the spiral shaft.
A father would set the candle to a specific height, and when the candle burned down to the metal holder, the suitor's time was up.
The candle holder is typically made of wrought iron with a wooden base.
