    They're unmarked and about 18" tall. I see where they have been sold as Baccarat but I also see a very similar candlestick sold as Fostoria.

    How do I identify them? I don't want to sell them and then have the buyer return them because I mislabeled them.

    Thanks!

    Yes, I saw that on Replacements. I don't really see any difference in the ones sold as Baccarat and those sold as Fostoria. I was hoping there was a certain tell to know the difference.

    I'd say Fostoria for sure; also known as Queen Anne.
    I haven't seen a Baccarat that looks quite like this. The bases are similar, but the Baccarat stems are more bulbous. The old Baccarat "Bamboo" design usually have an embossed 'Depose' mark.

    Oh these are gorgeous and I would think highly desirable, especially at this size. Do you have any prisms for them? Even if not, prisms are easy enough to get. I agree with the previous posters, these are definitely a Fostoria Glass product.

    Thank you everyone.

    Only one is in good condition. The other has damage to all 3 parts.

    I was afraid that the ones sold as Baccarat were wrongly identified.

    They actually came with Colonial prisms which were all wrong.

    What does a Colonial prism look like? It's a bummer that one of them is damaged. However, these are hard to find and if you have even parts of a good one, it can be sold. You might even be able to sell it to Replacements. Of the stock they have available, only 1 is left and most of what they've sold have been incomplete single candelabra.

    This is a colonial prism.

    I can probably sell the base. The stem that the metal piece slides onto is broken. But the part is still there and I may be able to glue it.

    Not the same shape as yours, but for comparison, the one on the left is Fostoria, right one is signed Baccarat Depose in tiny raised letters on the underside. The most noticeable differences are that the Fostoria has quite distinct mold lines while the Baccarat has none, and the detail is better defined on the Baccarat.

    Thank you for the image. Those would be oversized for these sticks. @Bdigger posted about selling to Replacements. There is useful information in that post. Without having to call them, you can ask on line how much they would pay for the good one. It might be worth the effort to check in with them.

    I've listed it on ebay for now. If it doesn't sell I'll contact them. Thanks.

    I agree with @TallCakes . Fostoria Colony Eiffel Tower candlesticks. All you need are the prisms to hang on them. the R site has 1 listed (14" no boboche or prisims) for $139.
    You might do well to check w/ Th R site and see what they are paying for them. They show several different sizes.
