Featured in this lot are three, very early miner's candlestick holders from the Head Center Mine & Million Dollar Stope Mine in Tombstone, Arizona circa 1870-1880s. The first in this lot is from the Head Center Mine in Tombstone. The Head Center Mine, located in the Tombstone Mining District, was part of the larger Contention-Grand Central Mine group. It was one of the early and productive mines, contributing significantly to the Tombstone silver boom. The Head Center Mine was worked alongside the Contention Mine and Flora Morrison claims. The candle holder piece has since been broken off of this one. The second one is from the Million Dollar Stope. The "Million Dollar Stope" is a well-known name in the history of the Tombstone, Arizona mining boom, referring to a specific stope (a chamber excavated from a mine) within the Good Enough Mine. This stope is believed to have yielded a significant amount of silver, possibly worth a million dollars in its initial boom, hence the name. This one features the candlestick holder still attached to the main piece. The third and final shows the best condition of all of them, with the hook and candle holder intact. They show fair to good condition overall with wear present from their age and use over the years, and slight damaged noted on two of them. They measure from 9 5/8" L x 2 5/8" W x 2 3/8" H to 7 1/8" L x 1/2" W x 3 1/8" H. They have a collective weight of 8 ounces.
