Two Candlesticks I would like to ID

[allnumbedup]

I just acquired two candlesticks from the same estate. I really do not know anything about them and have no provenance. I think they are both replicas but have never examined such quality creations before. I would like to ask if any of the members might recognize the craftsmanship and technique so that I can more accurately describe them for resale. Who made them? (Including maybe someone reading this.)  They are beautifully made in what must have taken days each to create through many steps. They are both 10 inches tall, solid brass, heavily nickeled and numbered. None of the parts are exactly the same or assembled in exactly the same way--so each may be a truly one-of-a-kind.  One stick is threaded for the older open Kellogg mouthpiece shown while the other is threaded for a WE mouthpiece. One has a steer horn hook and the other open tabs. Both mouthpieces are vintage as are the two receivers which are "SOLID" with one of the caps marked "Standard Telephone and Electric Co Madison WI" There are no networks but both are wired and the hook switch operate switches in the base. I personally think the OST receiver is a better match but just my opinion.  More pictures to follow....

More pictures of the vintage receivers and Solid versus OST pics. These also shown the extra large Kellogg mouthpiece well.

They are beautiful! I'm no expert on these things but from the apparent quality of the workmanship and the patina I'd say that they are not replicas.

I'm surprised none of our candlestick experts have added their thoughts to this thread as I'm sure many of us would like to know more about this lovely pair.

Maybe ask on the Singing wires list serve, I'm sure you'll get someone that is willing
to give you some info.

Thanks for the replies. I posted on ATCA listserve photo forum as well. Sometimes I think when you say you are going to sell something rather than fixing it up  for your collection there is less willingness to help which makes some sense. I do want to pass them on to someone who will appreciate them for what they are, but I ALSO want to know what they are first!

Well, that's not right but, that's a whole nuther can of worms.
If they were mine I would hang on to them if I was you, I don't think these come up very often
and they both seem to be a very good condition.
