Here is a better pic of the inside .. I have been scraping at it and this is what is coming out, its like a dirt texture and it does seem to a filler of sorts, I havent hit anything solid in the center....

Based on the photos I have shown, are the candlesticks Vintage? Antique? Reproductions?  No value?
Thank you!

Its hard to get light into the top to show you what I am talking about with a photo, but there seems to be something like "dirt" packed into the inside..  maybe like the inside is hollow and it has dirt packed into it?  That's the bet way to describe what scrapes out..

Do you think these are possibly not antique?

Hello,
I have a pair of 11" brass candlesticks I found a few months ago and would greatly appreciate help dating them.
They are 11" tall and the base screws off, the top appears to be one piece.

I did use a magnet to see if they were coated metal and the magnet did not stick anywhere on the candlestick.  I also did a scratch test on the bottom but not sure what I am looking for with that!    

I've tried searching for info but not really coming up with anything solid.

I appreciate any information on them!
Thank you!
