Wonderful vintage silver-plated taper candlestick holder.

This lovely silver-plated candlestick holder is from Benedict-Proctor and I am placing the age of this holder at approximately 1950.  It is wonderfully heavy and has a classic shape with good detail around the rim of the base and body. 

The bottom reads "Benedict-Proctor" in a diamond hallmark, also E.P. Lead and the numbers 2442 1/2.

My limited research reveals Benedict-Proctor was a silver company, which operated in Canada during 1910 - 1970.  E.P. Lead means that items of this sort have a lead core plug, which works as a ballast (in this case to provide stability so the candle doesn't tip over). It does not mean that silver plate is cast over lead, merely that there is a contained lead "plug" inside for weight. It is not considered dangerous, since the lead is contained, and at any rate the item is not for food use.

This is a lovely table accessory for fine, elegant or romantic dining. Also lovely for  magical ambiance and spell working!

Measures approximately 3 inches tall by 3 1/2 inches diameter at the base.

It is in overall good condition. The usual scratches and minor dings. There is a "bang" or "rubbed spot" on the center body (see photos) but not noticeable until close examination.

PS Sorry for the poor photos. Very difficult to take photos of a reflective item!

Disclaimer: Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
