I'm a newbie and my mother and I found these candlesticks at a yardsale and we can't figure out the markings. I've tried to get a clear picture but it's not working.

Description:this is my best rubbing of the hallmarks. They are all stamped on instead of being inside a shape. the one on the left is a lion facing left the second is an O the last is a potted plant with three leaves.
