Candle Safe -
In the 18th century candles were made of many different materials, including bayberry wax, bees wax and tallow, to name a few. Many of these items were good food for rodents. Thus, the candle safe was hung on the wall to keep the rodents from eating the candle supply. This one is also sized large enough to hold a nearly full roll of paper towels. Its price is NA. |

The early version’s construction is faithfully recreated here with one exception. The neck, instead of being butt soldered to the top, is pushed through the top and flanged before soldering. This makes the neck almost indestructible, and it will not come off -- guaranteed! It is NA. |

|
 |
Dishpan -

|
 |
Rinse Pan -
The rinse pan is made the same way as our dishpan, except slightly smaller and without handles so the two will nest for compact carrying and convenience in your campsite. It is NA. |

|
 |
Teakettle -
The teakettle has a very large bottom for fast heating. The spout is flanged before soldering to give more strength than butt soldering. These are tin lined, although most of the originals were not. The 1-quart size with a 7” diameter base is NA. The 3-quart size with a 10” diameter base is NA. |
|
 |
Gentlemen's Teapot -
The Gentlemen’s Teapot is triple-bead decorated and tin lined in a tapered-oval design common throughout the 18th century. As in originals, it features a “fulled handle” for a secure and comfortable grip when full. Over three years in development to authenticate and duplicate, this piece challenged me to master its labor intensive features to make it doable for the market. A cramped seam holds the body together, also known as Dovetail Seams since it bears that resemblance. Its overlapping parts are brazed and then returned by light hammer taps to one thickness and finished so smooth the join is nearly invisible. The goose neck spout is true to the original, and I recently developed the method to recreate it using the same methods they did in the 18th century. It is NA. |
|
 |
Tea Boiler -
The Tea Boiler uses a refined version of our 1 1/2 gallon cistern. Tin lined, polished inside and out, it has fancier ribbing and handles, plus a warmer base with places inside for three candles. Votive candles fit perfectly, and three are included with their holders. The base also works conveniently with other copper gallery subjects. The small Coffee Pot nests just inside warmer's top rim. Customers also like using the small Tea Kettle, noting its base is a pinch larger and rests on the warmer's rim instead of inside. Price for the Tea Boiler is NA. |
|

Cook Pots -
The cook pots have an extra heavy bottom to help spread the heat and wear longer. They are made in a proper tapered shape and are tin lined.

Reflector Oven -
The reflector oven, or hearth oven, was typically used in front of the fireplace to roast turkeys, hams, chicken or any large cut of meat. This is a faithful copy of one found in Bents Fort, Colorado. How well does it work? A friend tells me that in front of a campfire it takes about as long to roast a piece of meat as it does in an oven. It is NA. |
