Auction 241: Two Early WE Candlesticks for Parts/Restore - Ended 12-09-16

[TelePlay]

New forum members are very welcome and encouraged to take a guess. After all, there are no wrong guesses, just one lucky one. No one knows the winning bid on any auction until it ends. However, it is important to get your guess in before someone else grabs your guess.

Listed about 16 hours ago in a 7 day auction with no reserve ( thanks to a heads up from Doug Rose ) starting at $49.99 is another an interesting set of two early candlesticks in parts or restore condition. The seller provided a limited number of images but enough for 4 buyers seeing some value in the sticks to bid them up to $232.50. Is there an upside? We will know in a bit more than 6 days. So, once again, who best knows what these will sell for when the auction ends?

NOTE:We will use a $5 gap rule between guesses to prevent crowding. As such, keep your guess at least $5 away from prior guesses for this contest.

The seller listed it as an "WESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY CANDLE STICK 1904 PHONE Chrome (lot of 2) for partsWESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY CANDLE STICK 1904 PHONE Chrome (lot of 2) for parts" with the item condition as "Used" and "Parts or Restore" and with the auction listing description saying simply "WESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY CANDLE STICK 1904 PHONE Chrome (lot of 2) for parts or Restore"
