I collect antique candle molds from the 1800's.

I can't say I'm surprised that you would have such unique collection.

I don't know that I've ever seen a candle mold much less one from the 1800's.

Thank you.  I started my collection at 26 years old.  I just loved them.

This is an unusual piece.  It's a candle stick holder that puts tension against the candle.

Depression Glass, hence my internet name.  You know, that pink and green stuff.  I also collect depression kitchenware, mainly range shakers, hundreds of them.  Those are the big square ones that sat on the stove.

Pink and green are my favorite colors of depression glass too. I have a small collection, also love vintage kitchen items, including some green handled utensils, refrigerator jars, a few orange juice glasses, etc.  I haven’t purchased anything for years but love to use what I have.

Old German steins and old Humels. Just kept my favorites. My collection is small.

I love those ancient utensils too. I have my great grandmother's egg beater with a green wooden handle and a wicked looking black corkscrew.

This is the best jar opener ever made and you can see it’s well loved 😀

So that's what it does. I have one of those and thought it must be a part of something else that was missing. I can't  wait to try it.

I learn something new everyday, most are inconsequential and only useful for trivia night.

Yes, I am a big Royal Dalton fan, love their Bunnykins, Toby Mugs, and Figurines.
