- Christmas candleholder, tin plate, one of a pair. Holder formed of a single long, thin strip of tin 2.5" wide bent to hold an angel decoration on one end and the candle-holding disc on the other. One end of the tin strip is bent into a U-shaped curve where two angels are placed. The angels are attached to the tin strip near the end, and the portion above their hands is twisted to resemble a flame. The opposite end of the tin strip has the flat fluted, pronged, candle-holding disc on the end. The middle of the tin strip is bent vertically, the length of which is twice the height of the U-curve. The tin strip is further bent so that the U-curve and candle holder disc remain upright when hung.
