<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 494336, member: 5066"]Another thing, most tilt top period candle stands have scorch marks on bottom of top because, houses were drafty back then so it was common to put the candle on the birdcage & use the tilted top as a draft stop so the candle wouldn't flicker. Net result? bottom of top should have burn marks! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie32" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
