Pilgrim and Turkey Candle Set

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Pilgrim and Turkey Candle Set…

“I was looking online at your Thanksgiving items. There were my Pilgrim Set, the girl, boy, and the turkey that I have had for just about 40 years. On the bottom of each, the cost is 15 cents and it says they were made at the Gurley Candle Co in Buffalo, NY. I use them every Thanksgiving, never having burned them. What a delightful surprise!!” — Sylvia, Upatoi, GA

“My Mom just sent me these candles since I was always fascinated with the originals when I was a kid in the 70s (yes, she still has them). Now it would be great if you included the Indians that were part of the set too!” — Tricia, Valparaiso, IN

“I have memories of these very candles and they were passed down, well last year my dippy brother used them during a hurricane no more tradition. It was a sad end but maybe if I can this year I will buy another set.” — Ricky, Satsuma, FL

“I so remember these as I STILL have the set from the newly married days of 1960 & they are now in a glass curio cabinet. As we all enjoy each "turkey" time we take them out & enjoy the memories... So nice to see that the customers can still obtain them–thanks!” — Jean, Milford, MA

“I was born on the Sunday before Thanksgiving in 1958. My mother was given the Pilgrim and Turkey Candles and a small cornucopia with her dinner on Thanksgiving Day in the hospital. Of course she brought them home and put them out every Thanksgiving when I was growing up. I still have the originals, but I'm so glad to be able to buy "new" ones to celebrate my Thanksgiving week birthday.” — Jean, Yorktown Heights, NY

“I can remember having these candles on our family table on Thanksgiving when I was a little girl...over 50 years ago...and when I saw that you had recreated them, I was filled with happy memories, and I had to have a set to share with my children and grandchildren.” — Kimberly Morrow, Peru, IN

“I am so glad you are bringing these back. As a child I remember seeing them on the table at Thanksgiving, and it brings back wonderful memories for me! I plan to buy a set! Now my Thanksgiving table will be complete! Thanks for the memories!!” — Marlene Ansley, Clarksburg, MA

“I have the two pilgrims as yet..from MANY years ago.I just put them out last week with my TG decorations. I use them each year..and have for a long time.” — Mary, Appleton, WI

“For some reason, this year above other years, I've been quite nostalgic over special events from when I was a young girl. Seeing these candles reminds me of the festive table my Mom always set for Thanksgiving. We used colorful orange plates, the "for-good" cloth napkins, and these adorable candles at each place setting. I loved these then and I love seeing them now. Thanks for keeping old traditions alive!” — Nathelle Gross, Sagle, ID

“I fondly remember the pilgrims on the dining room table during Mom & Dad's many family Thanksgiving meals. During our estate sale, my brother asked to keep them since he and his wife have many of the holiday dinners now. I was very happy that he took them. Now I want to start a new 'tradition,' and I'm buying a set for our daughter. Family traditions are very important to 'pass on.' Thank you for this fond memory of our family Thanksgiving dinners.” — Rhonda, Clinton Twp., MI

“Could not believe it when I opened this email. I have the originals of these three candles. Every Thanksgiving I put them out. They are a little worse for wear. I am ordering 3 sets of these candles, as they mean a lot to my 2 daughters, too. They will be so thrilled Christmas morning when they receive them.” — Rosemary Lloyd, Amenia, NY

“I can remember buying an original set with my mom at Woolworth's in the early 60s. She has taken excellent care of them and each year brings them out of the cabinet at Halloween to display! I am so excited to now have an extra set. Thanks for allowing this tradition to continue.” — Kim, Bowling Green, KY

“Oh my, they are just like the ones my grandma had for years. I still have them, except for the turkey. She didn't have much in the way of decorations, but she loved candles (unlit) to put on the Thanksgiving table and the honeycomb turkey centerpiece. It was such a thrill to find them when we cleaned out her house six years ago. They grace my table now. I also have the little Halloween witch too. They still have the paper tag on the bottoms, 15 cents each!!! I love the fact you reproduced them, and I'm getting a set for my daughter.” — Karen, Manteo, NC
