A pair of antique, 18th to 19th century, miner's betty oil lamps with hinged lids and a hooked wrought iron candlestick. These lamps were hand-wrought and forged and we used for primitive-style lighting using oil, animal fat, and simple wicks. The lamps and candlestick are hooked for hanging where needed.
