    It looks cool, but I'm wondering how old it actually is?

    Maybe not - with space for only 5 candles? Maybe for Shabbat?

    Merriam-Webster says:
    Definition of menorah: a candelabra with seven or nine lights that is used in Jewish worship

    (There's lots of info online about the difference between the two.)

    Every menorah I've seen has had 9 lights. I've never heard, or seen, a seven one before...

    I keep searching but can't find anything similar with this key fret pattern.

    IMG_9970.JPG IMG_9971.JPG I think it's likely hand crafted so probably won't find the same.
