    I have found quite a bit of depression glass at my parent's home. Most identified as coming from the '30's. I cannot identify these candle holders. They are a pair. 3" high about 4 1/2 " wide. The color is a little dark in the photos, more of a cranberry on the top and middle, crystal on the bottom. I think the pattern is visible. Any idea of the pattern name or maker?
    Thanks

      Hey, thanks for the "loves." Any idea what this pattern is?

      Greetings: Your candlesticks were made by Sinclaire (H.P.) & Company, Corning, New York (1904-1928.) Their pattern number was No. 12928, made in the 1920s. They are found in "The Glass Candlestick Book, by Tom Felt and Elaine & Rich Stoer, Volume 3, pg 167.

      TBM thanks so much for the info. I was told they were Depression glass, then Bavarian Glass. So they are American, 1920's. Time period makes sense as the other glass I have is of that era. (Grandmother's). So the big question, any idea of value? They are in excellent condition.

      Yes, they are definitely Sinclaire. They were available in solid colors: amber, crystal, evergreen, gold, blue and a yellow green. Also they were offered with a colored top and crystal base, or vice-versa. I suspect your raspberry color was either an experimental or not too many were made in that color. In perfect condition, I would say in the neighborhood of $150 each for the raspberry, or slightly south of that figure.
