About Us

Early American Candle was established in 1962 by owners Elmer and Dorothy Byrnes in Wescosville, PA.  Elmer's son, John and his wife, Susan are the current owners and relocated the business to Allison Park, PA in 1995.  We manufacture many types of jar, votive, tealites, and pillar candles as well as other specialty candles for wholesalers throughout the country. In addition, we also have many “private label” accounts with major distributors.
 
We carry a complete line of candle making supplies. This includes waxes, wicks, glass containers, candle molds, fragrances, dyes, packaging supplies, and many more items for all your candle making needs. Orders are shipped the same day if received by noon or the next business day as long as stock is on hand. Customer Service hours are Monday-Friday, 8:00AM to 4:30 PM. Our store hours are Monday-Saturday 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM for order pickup.  We do ask that you pre-order your candle supply  items if you will be coming in to pick up your order after 1:30 on weekdays or on Saturday.
 
Finally, we have a retail store that carries all of our candles along with many other items such as Heritage Lace, specialty gift items, fashion jewelry, lamps, smaller furniture items, silk flowers, floral arrangements and wreaths, cards and many, many more items. Retail store hours are Monday – Saturday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

We are proud members of the International Guild of Candle Artisans. In 2006, we were awarded a distributorship for Libbey Glass east of the Mississippi and now carry a wide variety of their products. We are an authorized distributor for IGI Waxes, Cargill Waxes (soy products), EcoSoya Waxes (soy products), French Color fragrances and dyes, Atkins & Pearce wicks, Fil-Tec wicks, Glue Dots International and Anchor Hocking glass.

In 2008 we added Glass Supply Depot to our line.

In 2010 we added Soy Organic Candle as a new website for selling our candles. We have all the best soy candles with the best candle fragrances
