Pair of Sheffield Plate Candlesticks, L.B. Smith, Boston, well worn copper

Description

Pair of Sheffield Plate Candlestick, L. B. Smith, Boston 1887.  Very well worn showing copper.  This is the first Sheffield Plate I have ever seen made for Boston.  This pair were made in England.  Every Silver Plate marked Sheffield in the United States is made in brass.  It has a small dent on the bottom - there is a lot of wear on both pieces.  This is American Sheffield Plate which is very rare with British Hallmarks.  They are weighted and have drip caps. They must have been in a Church to have all this wear. Sold only in U.S. Priority Mail .50
