Frustrating research... help!
Is anyone here into antiques and collectibles?
I dabble and have a pair of items that I simply cannot identify or locate online. Usually if I keep on long enough, I can find things, but this one has stumped me for a LONG time so I've decided to recruit help. I have a pair of pewter candleholders in the shape of impalas (The animal, not the car) with the tail raised, and the holder on top of the tail. They are obviously hand made, are stamped with Saks fifth avenue, made in portugal, FCIT (which is an importer) and VMsomething illegible on the bottom. There is a crest like stamp that I can't figure out. I got them at auction several years ago; the owner was deceased, and nothing really was known about them. It's become a real puzzle. Anyone have any ideas?
