Patent No. 820,209 was awarded on May 8, 1906 to Philip M. Knippenberg, Oshkosh, WI, for the detachable candle holder and stick which also attaches to Husson No. 2-6 oil wick lamps through a special bracket at the base of the font; the spring-loaded steel stick is 8 5/8 in. long with two slots on the short side; the steel candle holder is 1 7/8 in. high with a base diameter of 1 3/16 in; the base tube is equipped with two slots through which the stick attaches; it is marked PAT.
