Bidding ended. Lot is unsold.

The rush lights show signs of age and use. There is a chance these are early 20th century provincial. We do not believe the bases are conversions, although it is hard to tell as there is a green baize applied to the bottoms. Both bases have large splits, as well as surface scratches and remnants of wax. Both have signs of wear, tarnishing and slight rust to the stems.
