My ex-neighbor had a collection of these. I showed her my own candalabra collection and she tried to break into my house to steal them. Especially my 16th century French center pieces. You have to be careful who you let into your house. All of my silver is on lock down ever since.
Thank you. Found this informative. I’ve inherited an estate w/ so many old silverware marked 925, candlestick holders just like in video- so, I should pull it apart for silver? Have sterling tea pot. A video on what to do with that item? Thanks for sharing!👍🏼👍🏼
