Question
I have a 24" Walldurn carved candle that I've had for 35 years.  The top comes off to reveal a candle insert that you burn instead of the top.  The top has been lost and I'm looking for a replacement.  It is 3.75" in diameter, and fits in a depression 1/4" deep.  The top was tapered with a wick.  

Can this be replaced.  The candle wax is dark in color.

Hi Michael,

I'm not sure if this top can be replaced or not.  I think that if you scout around the internet you will find others that have these types of candles. The trick is finding someone that has the exact candle as you. Since these are somewhat collectible and vintage, you may have to pay a pretty penny for it if you are lucky enough to find a top. You may want to check out Ebay and rubylane.com to see if you could find your candle.  Good luck!
