Description

An electric candle, ca. 1920s. The item consists of green metal bases, cloth cords, a red "stick" made of some form of paper board, a brass light socket, and a glass flame-shaped bulb painted orange. There is no maker's mark or any other identifying marks to the item, which may have been used for Christmas decorating. With chipped paint on the base and bulb, fading on the red paper, and some wear to the cloth on the cord, the overall condition is good.
