Description
Own a piece of custom artwork! AT&T employee/blacksmith David Macauley has forged a one-of-a-kind candle holder. The design is called a Courting Candle, which has a rich tradition: When a young man came to date or court a young lady, the father of the young lady would put out a candle in the courting candle holder. The father would tell the young man that he could court his daughter until the candle burned down to the top of the holder. If he liked the young man he would adjust the candle up high, so the young could have plenty of time. If the father did not care for the young man, he would set the candle down low. The young man would get his requisite 15 minutes, but he would be down the road quickly.
