What's the name for those candle holders?

You know those handheld candle holder things people carry around in period movies, with a glass covering surrounding the candle so it won't blow out when they walk from room to room? What are they called?

I want one, but I can't find it on eBay or google.

I type in "candle holder" or "handheld candle" or something similar, and, well, it's not popping up. The closest is this:
http://www.plowhearth.com/product.as...DNA%2D%5F%2DNA
That's the right idea except there's no glass cover to protect the candle from breeze.

Anybody know what they're called? Or better yet, anybody know where I can buy one?

Now that we know what they are, I have to ask the burning question..

Why do you want one? Run out of light bulbs?

Dude, you rock!! Ya, that'll do. The price is right.
I'm also looking for the type that has a handle on the side, similar to Aladdin's lamp, but still has the glass covering.

We like candles (well, my daughter and I like candles) and would like a safe way to carry them around the house from room to room.

I did a Google search for Hurricane candle holders.

the above http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=3734731

Another I found http://www.thecozypineapple.com/arthurcourt-090370.html

Hope the search is fruitful

peace

They're called Chamber Candles (used as night lights in bedrooms way back when)

Do a search on them .... you'll turn up with something like this
