A very distinct Antique Silver WAX JACK Candlestick, errant light, blaker candlestick.
The Wax Jack was first introduced in 1700.
Before then, a simple taper was used in a loose ball.
Despite their resemblance to a candle, they were not used for lighting.
Although common in England and Europe, they were not widely used in North America. [4]
Most early Wax-Jacks were worked by silversmiths,although later models also occur in other metals such as iron, brass or bell metal.
