Hi,

I purchased this “Russell” brand Miners Candlestick at an Antique Store in Bisbee, Arizona a few years back. It has the initials, “W.N.” or “N.W.” depending on which angle you look at it. It’s in very good condition, it’s an original and has the patina to prove it.

The dealer mentioned that the granddaughter of the miner who owned it sold it to him; that he worked in the Copper Queen mine there in Bisbee. I don’t have specific provenance, but it sounds reasonable given the locale.

Thank you for looking!
