Homesteader Cabin candles would burn down to the stick. Waste not want not was an Early Work value. When the dim light went out, the remaining nubbin went into a ditty bag to melt down and reuse. These darling little hand molded nubbies will fill your bread box or egg basket for the perfect finish in any vignette. Made with 100% blackened bees wax. Colonial can't be stetted more simply. Perfect gift for her Primitive Christmas, Mother's Day, Birthday. 2 inch nubbins.
