Saleroom notices

Please note these are two pairs. On the candlestick that we decribe with indistict date letter. We have now traced the date letter 'k' for 1745. This has been slightly concealed by a small solder ball spreading over the mark. So two are hallmarked for 1745 and two are hallmarked for 1746.
