[QUOTE="Wendy West, post: 3542353, member: 18408"][ATTACH=full]305173[/ATTACH] Help! A gorgeous pair of Frank Whiting sterling candlesticks. Pretty sure they date to around 1922 as they have my great grandmothers initials on them and that was the year she was married. However, I feel like something is missing. Hole is too big to hold a taper. My mother had obviously jury rigged something at one time, as candle wax residue in there. But the top seems unfinished. Would it have had an insert for a shade? a compote? Desperately looking for a photo of them in a so I can see how they were meant to be and use them. Clear "whiting whiskers" as well as "loaded base", "sterling" and "101 - 17" on the bottom of each. Kudos to anyone who can figure this out! [ATTACH=full]305173[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
