Sticking Tommy Light

This Wrought Iron sticking Tommy measures 12" and has a great dark surface and no repairs.
This stick was used by early miners for their light source by sticking the point in to the beams or walls to provide light.
Could also be carried by holding the hook as they entered and left the mines.
Nice piece of early lighting
