<p>[QUOTE="Tom Mackay, post: 3264325, member: 4589"]Yes, I do think these are original candles. The reason they exist, not burned away, I think is an abundance of caution. Open flame on a tree was not a great idea in a wooden farmhouse built mid 1800s. They weren't needed for illumination as there were plenty of oil lamps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
