Help with large 5-light candelabra

Postby OldSilverMan » Fri Jul 16, 2021 1:33 pm

Hello,
I have a rather large 5-light candelabra, appx. 20" tall.
On one side of the base are what appear to be 3 hallmarks. The first mark looks like the letters "SH". The 3rd marks is hard to make out at all. But the second mark must have some meaning.
The 2nd mark shows the numeral "3" followed by what appears to be a left facing head.

To me, the style looks European, possibly Polish or German, circa 1880. Not sure.

Can anyone help me in identifying the origin of this? Thank you.

Hi,
Polish silver mark for .800 standard. Clean the mark to reveal town code to the right of female head in profine.
The mark was used 1920-1931.
