[QUOTE="Nathan Lindop, post: 370161, member: 5285"]Spermaceti candles were banned from production in Nantucket in 1970 which was the last place in America where they were to be made. Cool! that gives a more accurate date could be a little before but likely 30/40s. The ones from the 70’s sell for around £75 so I’m not sure how much more these are. I think if I did sell I’d throw out something like £200-300 because I want to keep them :nailbiting: The packaging is beautiful and the candles are all there. I’m assuming they are original, they got the age the size of the box and the description of them being fit for lampshades. Seems very convenient. Thanks for the help everyone.
