Bolt Works Candlesticks

Curiosities Day 1:

Alister McInnes writes, “These two candlesticks in the photo came from my Grandparents house in Springwells (33 Glasgow Road – Jim and Cecilia Durnian).

The family story was that they came form the boltworks that used to be in that area. They have no markings on them and look as if they were machine turned – thought you might have an interest in them.”

I’m thinking the boltworks in that area must surely have been the one in Burnbank. Anybody else have locally made ‘heirlooms’?
