NIGHT CANDLE HOLDER

The ordinary tallow or wax candle is used in this night candle holder.

You will notice from the sketch that the general style is much like

that of the small holder. However, in this design, a small cup or stand

to fit the candle is soldered on to the base, a little toward the front.

_Material:_ No. 24 brass--A 4-in. disc. 12 × 1/2 ins., for band to go

around the disc. Reflector, 7 × 7 ins. Cup, 7/8 × 2-3/4 ins., and

handle piece, 6 × 1/4 in.

[Illustration]

The reflectors are sometimes left plain, though the facets made by

a flat placed hammer reflect the light when the candles are lighted

and soften the light by day. The greater the reflecting power of the

surface, the better is the effect. If each part is carefully filed and

finished before they are all put together there will be nothing but the

polishing needed.
