This is a very unusual piece of early American lighting. The first I have had the pleasure of owning. A wonderful 18th. century iron candle light having a built in tinder box in the base of the light and a carrying handle. An unusual and exciting combination. The small drawer pulls out to reveal the flint, striker and lighting accessories. The candle light does show some age wear at the edge of the base, but the overall effect is wonderful. Finding such pieces is getting more difficult and this one is a treasure. The overall size of the light with Tinder is 7 1/4 inches tall, 6 1/4 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide. Comes complete with flint, striker and tow. Price: sold
