Fine, Handcrafted Pewter in the Great American Tradition
Capen & Molineux Tavern Lamp

Early Personal Lighting in Early American Life Magazine

Pewter Capen & Molineux Tavern Lamp

Early American Life magazine - April 2010 I am thrilled to have my work grace the pages of Early American Life Magazine this month. The April edition just hit the newsstands. “Early Personal Lighting” features my Tavern/Sparking Lamp and my R. Gleason Chamberstick.

The opening blurb from the article reads: “In the dark, portable lighting devices served rural settlers tending livestock, urban dwellers traversing rutted streets, and anyone needing to find ‘the necessary.’”
