18th C. SIGNED IRON HOG SCRAPER CANDLESTICK
(Item: HOG SCRAPER C.S.)

From our personal collection, excellent late 18th Century, signed, tall push up "hog scraper" candlestick.  Standing 7 1/8 tall, the base has a 4" diameter and the round top has a 1 3/4" diameter.  The bottom is nicely beveled or canted down at an angle.  Signed in the iron push up button is "JAS  AVIS".  Neither of the "S's" are deeply cut in the iron, but we believe they are present.
Condition is Excellent, with only some minor bends in the top cup and some very minor black paint loss. The slide works smoothly and the square shaped nut is in place on the bottom of the shaft pin.  The iron has old and dry black paint intact on all areas but where the top meets the scraper.  We purchased the candlestick from a local estate a number of years ago and all the fine and early items in the estate came with a Pennsylvania provenance.  It is unknown if the maker was a Pennsylvanian.
OFFERED WITH NO RESERVE
 Complete buyer satisfaction is guaranteed, so, please bid with confidence on this fine late 18th Century or very early 19th Century signed iron handmade "hog scraper" push-up candlestick.
 Will pack properly and ship promptly.
