Old Forge Antiques Posts: 9 Registered: Feb 2003	posted 02-27-2003 08:54 PM I have a candle stick that measures 9.25" tall. Its base is almost 5" dia. It looks like a pillar. It has an insert that is spring loaded. with the locking cap. On the bottom there are four small circle a letter in each. H & H in the fourth block there is a bird facing left. Under that there is the number 4892. Then there is script 753. Then the name ALMAFO under that is script 8 / 18 / JW. I think that is what the script says. Please help me. I would like to know the maker and its value and any other info. Thanks so much. Mitch IP: Logged

What guide would you suggest to find a value for this candle stick. Thanks again Your candlestick is silverplate. You might want to search eBay to find what silver-plated candlesticks of similar age, style, and condition have sold for. ... and I forgot -- Welcome to the forums!
