Lot #56: Antique 800 Silver 9-Branch Hanukkah Menorah (Candelabra)

Antique candelabra, European vintage. Hallmark indicates that it is most likely 800 silver, probably German or Austrian. The shammash or servant holder, (9th candle,) is removeable so that it can be used to light the remaining candles. The top part of the candelabra comes off and can then be used as a single candle stick, (see the 11th photograph.) There are also two matching candles sticks from the same maker, offered in lot 57. Those two are minimally smaller that the candlestick in this lot. All three holders are shown together in the last picture here. NOTE: This auction lot is for the candelabra only. The other two candlesticks are being sold separately. - Type: 9-branch Hanukkah menorah (candelabra) - Material: 800 solid silver - Number of lights/cups: 9 - Age/style: Antique - Maker/mark: Marked; RM hallmark and Eastern European punch mark (likely 800 silver) - Measurements: 17.5" height, 12.5" wide.
