Catalogue Note: Redlich & Company became part of Elgin Silversmith Co. in 1946, and Elgin continued to use the Redlich & Company mark present on this pair of candlesticks into the 1970s. The date attribution for this lot is based on the marking for retailer Black, Starr & Frost, which changed it's name to Black, Starr & Gorham in 1900, and operated under that name until 1929, when it merged with Gorham Silver, and became Black, Starr & Frost-Gorham Inc.

Virtually undamaged, each with some minimal denting to base edge.
