What is a taper stick?
1 Answer
Taper sticks are particularly intended to handle thinner, tapered candles. During the 1700s, they were required as frequently as possible in daily life. One popular usage was for melting the wax seals used in letter-writing. The wax could be dazzled with an intaglio cut with initials or a peak at the place where it was dissolved.
