[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 80107, member: 25"]I'd expect them to be silver but I'd also expect the silver to be very thin. Very modest value. Good silver candlesticks are cast and quite capable of standing up on their own, and cost a lot more. I have often bought damaged loaded items and broken them up for scrap so I have a fair idea just how much silver there is likely to be in any one item. I never worry much about rubbed hallmarks,as long as I can see the ghost of at least one legitimate element.[/QUOTE]
