[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 3119141, member: 111"]Welcome to the forums. Don't really want to disappoint you, but your testing methods are not really useful - this candlestick is silverplate of no great age or value, the base is die-cast, looks like spelter, would have most likely had a flocked paper or cardboard piece glued to the bottom. Inexpensive candlesticks like this, manufactured overseas for numerous companies, were pretty standard department store items around the 1980s-'90s... Here is a pair on eBay, of similar style and construction (with bolted-on die-cast base) by Godinger: [URL]https://www.ebay.com/itm/GODINGER-Candlestick-Holders-SILVERPLATE-FLORAL-Embossed-ORNATE-9-25-set-of-2-/164021104859?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292[/URL] [ATTACH=full]294138[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294139[/ATTACH] Another pair of the same, sold, with the flocked paper covering on the base intact: [URL]https://tinyurl.com/y2p2bxmq[/URL] [ATTACH=full]294140[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294141[/ATTACH] ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
