Title: Deveau Candlestick
Post by: wds on February 02, 2018, 06:33:20 PM
Picked up this candlestick -  really needed a good cleaning.  I will remove the black paint off the base another day, but so far it's turning out pretty nice.  The shine is gone from the nickle, but it's still mostly there.  Before and after pictures.

That looks great!

I have a DeVeau candlestick I am restoring at the moment. Not nearly as nice as that one though.

I still have a DeVeau nickel transmitter and cup that I was trying to sell.  If anyone is interested, let me know.

I cleaned the paint off the base and the nickle shows some wear.  I'm not going to mess with the stem right now.
