19th c Sticking Tommy Lamp

This "lamp" is known as a Sticking Tommy. It is an iron candle holder that was used by sailors to stick into wooden posts or flat surfaces below decks to provide them with a little extra light. I had always been told that this was a miners lamp? It is in very good condition measuring 12 inches long.

PAINTED PANTRY BOX

This early 19th C Pantry box is 7 1/2 in. in diameter and 3 1/2 in. tall. It is in very good condition except for a small loss on the seam of the cover and a tiny loss of wood on the very bottom of the seam on the box. The color is a sage green with early wear to the paint (easily seen in the photo). No cracks no losses (except seam as described) and the seam is tight. Great box from my collection.

PAINTED WOODEN GRAIN MEASURE

This 19th c grain MEASURE is painted white, green, red, and yellow. It is a very old measure and the paint looks very old (I have had it for 20 years and it was stored since then) but I am sure the paint was not the original. It measures 5 1/2 inches tall with a n 8 3/4 inch diameter. The condition is good with the usual wear marks.
