Very nice!
Thank you pickergirl10.
I have the exact same candleabra and would also love to know the history, age, etc. ps: we have good taste!
Hi crystalfan...you are right...very good taste :-). The woman I bought this from was in her late 80's said it was in her family for years... and had it is a china cabinet for years. It does say Poland /Crystal Clear/and 24% lead crystal on the gold and white lable. If I find out any info I will let you know...Liz
Hi Lizr25...sooo coincidental! I also purchased mine at an estate sale. However, the folks running the sale were young and I am not sure that they were the owners or an agent running the sale. I also have the exact same gold and white label that says "Crystal Clear", made in Poland and 24% lead crystal. If I find anything out, will let you know also. Thanks so much!
