VM Virginia MetalCrafters HUGE Brass Candlestick holder
Solid Brass, Heavy and Beautiful!
Stamped with the VM and also 2002. I was unsure whether it was 3002 or 2002, but I did a pencil rubbing and I was more convinced that it was 2002. And I read that they dated their pieces, so I think it really is 2002.
Dimensions: 12 1/2" tall and Base: 4 3/4" square Weight: 4lbs 4.2 ozs.
Condition: EXCELLENT. One very minor surface scratch. Otherwise looks NEW.
I just noticed : When viewed from one side, that the top half has a very slight lean that you really have to look to notice. I think it is characteristic of the handmade quality. You be the judge. I think the first picture shows this lean.
Virginia Metalcrafters began business in 1890, as the W.J. Loth Stove Company in Waynesboro, Virginia, and manufactured cast iron stoves and wood and coal heaters. In the 1890's frying pans, waffle irons, tea kettles and other cookware were added. In 1938, the company installed equipment for melting brass and other non-ferrous metals, selling them as Virginia Metalcrafters. In 1953 Charles Eckman purchased the company and formed Virginia Metalcrafters. The E.T. Caldwell Company and the Harvin Company of Baltimore, makers of decorative accessories and fireplace equipment were also added to VA Metalcrafters.
