Title: Bronze candlestick holders
Post by: winffup on April 12, 2010, 10:34:40 PM

I've got a pair of these griffin candlestick holders, they may actually be brass or some sort of bronze/brass smelter. There are no identifying marks on them. They are 7 inches high and 9 long. Any ideas?

Thanks, that gives me a much better idea of what I have.  :D    I picked them up about 30 years ago on a moving job and something kept telling me to hold on to them.
