I found this amber candlestick at a yardsale. Is it depression glass or fostoria? I cannot find the pattern anywhere. I think it is really pretty and maybe I will look for a matching one to make a set. Does anyone recognize the pattern?

I am still trying to identify this pattern. It is driving me crazy! I have contacted the National Depression Glass Association and someone emailed back that they did not know but would send it to someone who would. I have not heard back yet.
Looks like Cambridge to me.
A big thank you goes to Cat Lady Kate at http://www.depressionelegantglass.com for identifying this as Central Glass, Balda etch on the line 2000 candleholder. Another site further identifies it as appearing in Central Glass Works: The Depression Era", on page 131 (pictured t in amber). Etch #410
Look similar to candle holders I sold at a flea market. They were from a grandmother. She polished the gold off the raised surface. My guess was they were from 1920s. There was a bowl to match which we can't find and is probably buried in someone's closet or attic. Pretty, aren't they? Wondering if you purchased them near Philadelphia. DD@Phila
