pricket

The appendage in question was named a "pricket bat", and it was used to burst balloons.

Two church candles on silver "prickets" lighted the piano.

Among the varieties are the earliest form of pricket candlestick on which the candle was "stuck," the bell candlesticks, and the candlesticks which were fixed on brackets against the wall.

The whole service was gilt, and the bequest included also a pair of magnificent pricket candlesticks, each nearly 20 inches high, with rich stems and massive scrolled bases.
