Description
A brass and steel wick holder. The wick holder is circular with a stepped edge and a steel domed lid, which is hinged. At the top center of the dome is a slit 1/4" w. Underneath the dome is a stepped perforated disk with an oval protrusion. This protrusion continues to the holder's base, which is attached to curved arms, with decorative arrow cut-outs. Through the holder is a small brass rod with a circular disk at one end for progressing the wick, which catches on the three gear-like spokes on the opposite end of the rod.
