    Description
    A MUSEUM QUALITY AND EXTREMELY RARE 18TH CENTURY WROUGHT IRON AND WOOD BASE "COBBLER'S ADJUSTABLE LIGHTING STAND WITH A BETTY LAMP AND CANDLE CUP ADJUSTABLE ARM.
    PROBABLY PENNSYLVANIA, Circa 1780-1800, THE FOUR COMPARTMENT BOX IS IN NATIVE HARD PINE AND GREAT ORIGINAL ATTIC SURFACE AND THE WROUGHT IRON LIGHTING IN OLD GRUNGY SURFACE AS WELL.
    ONE OF THE RAREST PIECES OF EARLY AMERICAN LIGHTING WE HAVE HAD IN A FEW YEARS.
    WE SOLD A SLIGHTLY SIMILAR EXAMPLE A FEW YEARS AGO HERE ON EBAY BUT IN THE PAST 40 YEARS I HAVE ONLY SEEN A HANDFUL.
    THE BASE IS A FOUR COMPARTMENT DEEP WELL THAT HAS SIMPLE BUTT ENDS AND STILL RETAINING ITS ORIGINAL HAND WROUGHT NAILS.
    THE BOX IS IN HARD PINE AND RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL UNTOUCHED ATTIC SURFACE.
    THE BOX HAS SLIGHTLY SCROLLED DIVIDERS THE HOLD THE WROUGHT IRON LIGHTING STANDARD.
    THE ATTACHED WROUGHT IRON SHAFT HAS A SHAPED DOUBLE SPRING ADJUSTMENT DEVICE WHICH CONSISTS OF A VERY RARE WROUGHT IRON BETTY LAMP ON ONE SIDE AND THE OTHER A FLAT ARMED CANDLE HOLDER.
    THE BETTY LAMP HAS THE BEST PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN STYLE "ROOSTER" TOPPED FINIAL.
    The iron surface is in great OLD surface quality and patina.
    Great hand forged tool marks throughout.
    AN EXTREMELY RARE FORM OF EARLY IRON LIGHTING.
    THE FOUR SECTION BASE WOULD HAVE HELD NAILS, TOOLS AND OTHER IMPLEMENTS AND THE ADJUSTABLE LIGHTING SECTION WOULD HAVE SUPPLIED THE LIGHT.'
    THE INCORPORATION OB BOTH A BETTY LAMP AND A CANDLE CUP IS QUITE RARE FOR THIS FORM.
    THE WOODEN BASE IS ABOUT 14 1/2" SQUARE. THE PIECE IS 39" TALL AND THE LIGHTING PIECES ADJUST FROM 14" TO 35".
    A VERY RARE FORM IN WONDERFUL CONDITION AND GREAT OLD COLOR AND SURFACE. NO REPAIRS OR RESTORATIONS JUST THE USUAL WEAR YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM OVER 200 YEARS OF USE.
    ADJUSTMENT SPRINGS ARE STILL TIGHT.
    Typical wear and imperfections with age as described above.
    Low starting Price and No reserve.
