Hello,

For years nobody has been able to identify these marks and attribute a pair of candleabras to anyone, or anywhere.

These are single candlesticks, that have an attachment to become 3 candle holders. They are at least 90 years old.

There is no mark indicating them sterling, but if they are plate, there is no sign of wear, despite years of polishing.

The only wear, is the marks on the bottom, typical...

Thanks in advance for any and help.

Are your marks any clearer? This is the clearest one I have. The other candlesticks mark is less visible.
Maybe we can figure this out between us

Nice looking silver. I'm going to take a shot at the marks, they aren't that clear, and I may have be mistaken, but here goes. The crown means Sheffield, (English), and the far right mark ( the B ) is 1897. Ican't make out the others, and only hope that this helps. Others more knowledgable are welcome to correct me

I'm thinking it's Sheffield as well because of the Crown, but I see the mark to the far right as a "P" not a "B", here's the Sheffield marks with that style of "P" which would date it to 1791, none of the other Sheffield "P" marks looks like the one on your candlestick except the one for 1791.

English silver marks: marks and hallmarks of Sheffield sterling silver

Hi, I would request you, I need to identify this symbol on the teapot. Would be American teapot from tin, but that's all I know, I would like to find out more information. Thank you all for your help.
