    This was at a thrift store for $3. I thought it had to be special to be in it's own velvet box. It says Alef Judaica Inc. on the inside of the box. I have found other menorah's but not like this.

    Very pretty. I am not good at dating Judaica. Would be lovely come Chanukah time.
    Seems like the company may have originated right here on LI.
    Hope someone can help you more than I did.

    Thanks for the link @Branka. They started in 1960. I was going to guess 50s 60s .

    Logo looks 1970s. (No idea if that works with company dates.)

    There is a symbol mark on the front of the tree trunk. Stick man holding a cross? Designer mark?

    I am wondering if this could be a person holding a lit candle or big match to light the candles? I don't know just throwing this out there.
