Mid Century (?) Plated Silver Maker ID
« on: January 13, 2014, 04:07:05 pm »
Hello all. I hope you all enjoyed your holidays!
I have this candelabra and I'm pretty sure it's no older then mid century. I cant find the maker. I think the "a" is stylized with other letters making it impossible for me to find it with any search Im doing
Here is the beastie. ;D Thank you

Search for AB.silverplate,...found a pair of singles on ebay...with same markings on the base, seller indicated 1970,s....value of pair was very low...i,d hazard a guess and say around £30

There seem to be so many similar I wonder if a particular factory made them and different companies bought and put there stamp on them.
Thank you both for looking. I re did an eBay search for both UK and USA and came up with nothing with the mark. Just a bunch of twisty branched candelabras looking quite the same

Quite common for these companies to have certain marks only for a short time or on certain items. I haven't seen that border round the A before but i have seen that A and the " Of England " after.

Condition doesn't look great
