According to Wilson and Bobrink this is a VERY RARE candlestick, known as a "California" brand that was produced by the Ludlow-Saylor Wire Company between 1900 and 1910. The Ludlow-Saylor Wire Company, St. Louis, MO was a prolific manufacturer of miners' candlesticks, second only to Varney in number of sticks made. Though they vary somewhat in design, all are cast steel and, except for the model marked IDEAL, all have the thimble brazed on. Many are painted with a black varnish (known as Japanned). Like Varney, Ludlow-Saylor made sticks under other names including COLORADO, CALUMET, HECLA, CRESCENT, DULUTH, IMPROVED IDEAL, IRON RANGE, MONTANA, MT SHASTA, MENLO, CALIFORNIA, EUREKA, ARGAUNAUT and WASHINGTON. This one is identical to the California Brand No. 30 featured in Wilson-Bobrink, however this is a left hook stick. Therefore we are calling this an Unlisted candelstick. Strong "Washington" Stamp. Shows less wear than many candlesticks. Measures 11.5". City: State: Date: c1905
