<p>[QUOTE="AUhills, post: 863034, member: 11789"]Hello all, first real post here I'm hoping for some advise. So I found this pair of candelabra and bought them thinking of getting them repaired to original condition but I'm wondering if I will pay more getting them restored then they are worth? No parts are missing but a few pieces are bent and broken off (a couple pieces I have held on with collectors putty in the pictures). It's a unique set and I'm hoping to save them from being melted down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hallmark from the city of Porto Portugal 1870-1877. Each measure 10 1/4 inches tall with a 9 inch spread, very heavy for their size weighing a total of 7lbs 14oz. Marked 800, appears to be coin silver.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/Rh83fCxB/P1010432.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/YCQ3pZQ9/P1010428.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/g2GD24sH/P1010429.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/2STxbvXR/P1010436.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
