Welcome to Candlepin Gallery!
Mid Island Bowl (8)
Youngs Way
Nantucket Island, MA

This is a fabulous find! These photos are from a long
forgotten candlepin house on Nantucket Island. The
photos, taken in 1964, were more than likely taken on
the opening day of this house. CG would like to thank the
Nantucket Historical Association for allowing us to
show these photos, and Jack Carroll for his assistance in
obtaining them.
