I've always been partial to the Dean Candlesticks.  This Cosmo looks like something from the future, not one that's over a 100 years old.

It has to be this Kellogg '1901' stick which joined my collection in October 2020.

There are so many things I like about this one; nicely designed with a good weight so feels nice in the hand, transmitter date says Patent Applied For which makes it a nice early model, an early Steerhorn switch hook...

...and more.  :)

My favorite is my Automatic Electric 11 hole dial potbelly. My friends always called it Mr. Strowger.

What is the story behind Mr. Strowger?.....Doug
