Miniature "Krys-Tol" Candlesticks
FYI on Children's Toy Glass
by Gail Ryan
| I am continuing my reference information
on toy glass candlesticks with the addition
of two more candlesticks. These, with gold
on the sockets, are both from the same manufacturer. |
| There are actually two sizes of this candlestick.
The 4 1/2" high with 3" base (above)
was made by the Ohio Flint Glass Co. as part
of the Chippendale pattern. It was patented
in 1907 by Benjamin Jacobs. The Jefferson
Glass Co. acquired the pattern and continued
to make it as No. T314 from 1908 until 1918
and then it was made by the Central Glass
Works from 1919 until into the mid 1920"s.
Early examples are marked "PAT June
11 1907 Krys-Tol" while later ones are
marked "Krys-Tol" on the body.
The shorter one is 3 7/8" high with
a 2 3/8" base. It was made by the Westmoreland
Specialty Company as No. 1015S. |

No. T305 Chippendale pattern child's colonial
candlestick (above). Sometimes marked "Krys-Tol"
on the top of the base. Originally made by
the Jefferson Glass Co. from 1910 to 1918,
and then by Central Glass Works. Krys-Tol
is a trademark for a quality of glass. This is one of the Krys-tol chambersticks
that was a souvenir of Moe, North Dakota.
Below is beautiful pair
of miniature or toy
candlesticks sometimes
known to candlestick
collectors as "Trophy".
They are
signed "Krys-Tol"
at the base of
the column (see last photo
below). |
