    Found these in a box of Mom's 'stuff'....they have no markings....I guess/think they are cast (?) ..... absolutely NO clue where she might have gotten them!!! Would they have been simply decorative??? I don't imagine there would be any value beyond maybe $10. or #15. dollars?? Just a WAG. They're heavy little divils!! Dimensions should all be on the FIRST (I hope) image!! All input and comments gratefully appreciated!!!! AS ALWAYS!!!!:):):)

    Arent those pretty ! Too big for a dollhouse I would think,the middle pair do look cast though. I wonder if these were actually utilitarian?

    The two 1s are more of a matched pair, than the 1 & 2 on the right. However, I think they are all singles missing their mates.

    The square ones are matched. Not the ones I numbered 1 & 2. Picture was posted in thread following the comment.

    I have a pair of 3.5" tall brass candlesticks that were my aunt's from childhood - she used them with dolls and doll-sized dishes, tables, etc. NOT as small as dolls house size. Calculating my aunt's age, these would date to circa 1890-1912.

    Well, eBay throws ANY size candlesticks at you when you specify what size you want to see, and they had plenty, just not much in what I wanted to see. Etsy had more to at least look at.....I wasn't too far off in my guesstimate....at least per pair!! Am not sure if mine look older than what I was seeing or not.... Thanks EACH and all for your help!!! I may look into Etsy to see about starting to move some stuff along....knowing that most of my and my DH's relatives are NOT into antiques and old 'stuff'!!!!:hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::happy::happy: AJ or anyone else have any advise about Etsy???? Thanks again......maybe time to get my feet wet!!!!
