Candle followers (aka candle burners and wax savers) are most often seen in churches on the altar candles. When properly fitted, such followers allow the candle to burn longer and more evenly, minimizing problems.

These candle followers hail from the 1930s and bear the US Patent Number 2017533-0.

These are made to fit candles that measure 1 inch in diameter. It is important to use the proper follower with the correct size candle.

Because these are vintage, we thought you would appreciate their lovely patina created only by time. We like them just this way. However, churches are usually sure to polish these for a glistening shine. To remove any accumulated wax from the follower, immerse it in warm water and wipe clean with a soft cloth. Use of abrasives may effect the finish of the followers.

We're showing two in the photograph for illustration only.

Not Quite Vintage Box of Church Offering Envelopes

More Envelopes & Sleeves

Book Pockets

This full box of weekly envelopes (with some special offering envelopes as well) contains at least 95 (we only counted one box, but they seem to all be the same) envelopes that are numbered (all with the same number) to identify the parishioner who would have been donating. Each box has a different number throughout. The dates range from the 1990s through 2005. Some feature color printing; others feature the name of the church. Although some boxes are different, most were intended for the Trinity Lutheran Church in Donora, Pennsylvania.

The box measures 4-1/2 inches by 2-5/8 inches by 2 inches. Each envelope is the same size: 4-1/4 by 2-1/2 inches. The flap on the back has a small gummed adhesive area for closure as well as an opening so that you might slip the flap into it instead of sealing it with adhesive.

We suggest that you moisten the gummed adhesive with a lightly damped sponge or to use another glue if you intend to close the envelopes in this fashion, as we are not sure of the condition of the adhesive itself.

These are great for collage or just for collecting little things!
