I'm new to the forum but love the information provided. I have a question on some candlesticks I ran across and was wondering if anyone can shed some light on them: The last mark is "SEC". I don't think its visible in the photo.

They are approximately 12 1/4 inches tall. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.
The last mark is "SEC". I don't think its visible in the photo.
Why not post a clear image of all of the marks?

I wish I could but all I could get were the three photos. I'll take better photos next time. I did take this one of the last mark and hopefully it will help.

After doing some research I came across the bell in an oval is the assay mark for Aurich in the Netherlands. I don't know if this is correct as I didn't see any other marks that would make me believe it was silver and not silver plate. Any incite would be a great help. Thanks.
