Unknown candelabra mark
Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2006 1:52 pm
My wife and I just got a nice pair of candelabra at a local auction a couple weekends ago. They appear to be plated and there is a tini dot of copper green on the bottom of the one to support this guess. The makers mark
is on the top of the one corner of the base. They came w/ (theres a french words for em?) the little square holders for different size candles, 1/2 of these are different in that they are smooth on the inside face and 3 have ridges to hold the candles so I suspect these came later.

This is the mark...
and the candelabra among a cluttered tabletop, sorry for the clutter.
If anyone knows the mark or could at least tell me what to rule out it'd really help me. These are keepers and I hope to have them to hand down to my children, i just like knowing how old stuff is or it's history. Thanks
