FOLDING TIN CANDLE LANTERN

Our folding tin candle box is 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide. It opens to expose the candle holder which swings out for easy candle replacement. It snaps closed tightly to keep your candle and matches or any other small items (like a little sack of dry tender for starting fires) dry as a powder house. You will be amazed at the amount of light one small candle box puts out. I know that I was. You see, when the box is opened and the candle is lit both sides of the box reflect the light outward so that you can direct the light right where you need it.
TIP:
When on the march you can take this candle box, wrap your extra pair of socks around it and the whole thing fits neatly into one of our stainless steel muckets. That frees up a lot of space in your kit for other items.

PIERCED TIN LANTERN
For years many of you have been asking for a Pierced Tin Lantern. I've been pretending you were my wife and ignoring you. But no more. I finally stumbled upon a tin smith who actually makes a good Lantern. I was sorta holding out for that.
Our Tin lantern stands almost 14 inches tall to the top of the ring. It measures 5 inches across. It will accept a candle up to 6 inches tall. The door opens wide to make replacing candles easy or for a little direct light right where you need it. When lit and the door closed it gives off a very soft glow. Great for when a little light is all you need. They are also very safe, if you forget to blow out your candle it's no big deal. The candle just burns out. They are great for warming your hands as the heat is evenly distributed all around. This lantern would be considered more of a Rev. War, 1812 item. Possibly later but I'll leave that research to you.

CAMPAIGNER TIN CANDLE LANTERN
Every now and then a piece of equipment comes along that is sooooo cool you�ve got to own one whether you need it or not. Well that's the way I am about this piece. The Campaigner Tin Candle Lantern not only looks great but is very functional and convenient to boot!
How often can you buy something that is not only better than what you were using but more efficient and cheaper. This little baby puts out just as much one directional light as any of those large candle lanterns. It's easier to pack in and since it only has one pane of glass it is less likely to get broken and to beat it all it is even cheaper. HOT DAMN that's my kinda bargain!
The Campaigner measures 3 � inches wide by 2 inches deep. It stands 7 � inches tall to the top of its chimney. The hinged cover raises and allows you to raise the glass pane to replace your standard 3/4 inch candle up to 5 inches tall (just like your other candle lanterns use.)
The shinny tin back acts as a reflector to double the light right where you need it.

PEWTER CANTEEN SPOUT / CANDLE HOLDER.
This is a great little item. The pewter spout from a canteen makes a super candle holder. It's just heavy enough to be stable and it is so small that you'll never know that it's in your kit. Now some might say that they didn't use this item in the Civil War, I cannot prove that they did use them but I don't think that you can prove that they didn't. Here is what I did find out... In the book "Rebel Cornbread and Yankee Coffee", (available on our webpage, page 8a) there is a letter from J.H. Puckett from Texas, a private in the Army of Tennessee, to his wife dated Oct. 1863."A captured metal canteen can be split in half by exploding a little gun powder inside it, and the halves fashioned into skillets and plates." Ok, so now you've got a canteen that you just dismantled leaving you with two bowls and a pewter spout, so what would you do with the spout?

Here is another trick. Turn the spout lip side up and it fits perfectly into the socket of a .69 cal. bayonet, or with just a little whittling it will do the same in a .58 cal.
(WHITTLING NOT INCLUDED.)

BEE'S WAX CANDLES

Our Our new bee's wax candles are quite unique. "How so"? You ask. These candles are formed in an original pre Civil War era 6 gang candle mold. Which is a very slow and laborious process but we feel that the end result is worth it. They are cast right here in Middle Tennessee using bee's wax from a local producer and even the wicks are American made. Who else can truthfully say that? They are a beautiful amber color, 6 inches long, 3/4 inches at the bottom with a slight taper towards the top.
For me there is just nothing quite like the aroma of a bee's wax canlde.

LANTERN HANGER
Our lantern hanger or "gravity hook" as some like to call it, is 9.5 inches long overall. The "arm" is 7 inches long. That will hold your average lantern far enough away from the wall that over heating will not be a concern. The square end of the hanger fits around the narrow edge of a 2x4 or any 2x2 that you may be using for your upright tent poles. The weight of your lantern pulls down the hook end which in turn will bind the square end in place. Your lantern is held in place by it's own weight. Pretty nifty.

FOLDING CAMP TABLE / OFFICER'S DESK

BATTLE OF MURFREESBORO Dec. 31, 1862
After the chaos of the day, darkness brings a lull in the battle. US Gen. Rosecrans along with several others of his staff find shelter in an old log cabin.
Adjutant John Lee Yaryan, aide-de-camp Wood's staff recalls, "Rosecrans having the only camp stool in the party was in front of the fire looking intently at the curling flames, warming his hands and drying his clothes.

CAMP STOOL

Here's your chance to get a great deal on a brand new canvas & wood folding camp stool. When you're not on campaign, you know, when the wife and kids come along.
