Vintage Wax Snowmen

My Vintage Wax Snowmen

They are all candles- 

If ever I miss electricity they may all go up in smoke.

The two below are very old.

Aren't they cute

A Bit of  History:

Gurley Novelty,  started in 1939, 

was a manufacturer primarily known for making

 holiday candles shaped like small figurines,

commissioned by Exxon Mobile as a way to reuse

excess paraffin produced as a by-product of the oil refinery process.

Though each candle came with a wick, they were not marketed as practical candles.
Primarily sold at dime stores such as Woolworth.

In the recent years Gurley candles have become popular collectibles.

The snowman below I found recently in perfect condition.
