NEW! Amish Courting Candle Holders (candles not included). From the 1600's to the 1800's when an Amish boy would go to visit a girlfriend, the father would decide how log the boy could stay. He would lower the candle in the holder if he liked the lad (longer burn time) or raise it if he wasn't fond of him (shorter burn time). Once the candle would burn to the top of the wrought iron holder, the date would be over. Measure a little over 6 inches. Ships USPS Ground Mail to U.S. lower 48. NOTE: For buyers outside of Continental U.S., additional shipping charges and associated costs (import duties, taxes, etc.) will be incurred. These charges are the buyer's responsibilities. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Only Paypal accepted. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions before bidding. Thank you for looking.
