Author	Topic: German Candelabra
Gary Posts: 4 Registered: Nov 2003	posted 11-27-2003 11:54 AM Hi. I recently acquired a candelabra that appears to be German in origin. My wife and daughter think it is "unnecessarily gaudy" but I like it. I looked through Wyler's book and I can't find any mention of the marks but for the crescent moon and crown. I am assuming the "835" is for 835 parts silver per thousand, but I don't know. However, the town mark or maker's mark is a mystery to me. Can anybody shed light on the maker or time period this may have come from? Thanks. Gary IP: Logged
