  Packer RSide.jpg - PACKER - Twisted steel wire candlestick, patented by Edson W. Packer as patent No. 760,398 awarded on May 17, 1904, 9 1/4 in. long, number 88 in Wilson & Bobrink’s Collector’s Guide to Antique Miners’ Candlesticks, ex-John Leahy collection (Of the 90 or so patented miners’ candlesticks, only 5 are based on the use of twisted wire. Examples of these 5 candlesticks are all rare. These include the David B. James patent No. 366,320 awarded on July 12, 1887 (San Francisco, CA); the Samual Nash patent No. 561,428 awarded on June 2, 1896 (Georgetown, CO); the William H. Pleasants patent No. 707,409 awarded March 28, 1899 (Victor, CO); the Allen W. Powell patent No. 626,817 awarded June 13, 1899 (Lead, SD); and the Edson W. Packer patent shown here (Mace, ID). The Packer design is unique in that it uses two different sizes of wire, a heavier gauge to form the hook, handle and spike and a smaller gauge to form the thimble. All the other patented wire designs use a single piece of wire to form the candlestick.)
