Default Any 'antique' boffs on here?

Got a clock and two candle stick holders that a friend was going to chuck.
They look like they could be worth something, but I havn't got a clue how old they are or how much they're likely to fetch.

Anyone have an idea?

Have you looked for any markings that may help people identify these if any makers names try a google search.

Hi m8, will do that today. I sent your dumpvalve on wednesday, so it should be with you soon.
I don't have a reducer pipe that you mentioned....not sure where you'd get one either?
You do know that the dumpvalve is the 'bolt-on' type, and not the black plastic one?

chris, my friend knows alittle bit about them. She said they are not overly popular now so the value isn't as high as it used to be.

She made this comment:

'Clock Garniture' may be matched as the clock has white porcelain[?] mounts and the sticks have stone?

PM me for any more info.

Sent the picture to someone who knows abit more and they came back with this hope it helps

"Looks gilt metal (not bronze) and unsigned, so not very commercial today, perhaps 150-250, might get 300 with a gale behind it"
