EARLY AMERICAN PRIMITIVE HOGSCRAPER CANDLESTICKS
1820's Early American Primitive Sheet Iron Hogscraper Push-Up Candlesticks, an early form of lighting device commonly used in 19th-century North America and Britain, and mainly manufactured in England. The name is derived from the candlesticks resemblance to an antique device used to scrape bristles from hog hide after slaughter. The antique lighting device commonly consists of a shaft, attached to a round base with a thumb tab ejector mechanism to remove the residual candle stub, and a round lip or "bobèche" to collect candle drippings. The "bobèche" often has a hook extension used for hanging the device.
