Any help identifying these candelabras (a set of two) would be appreciated. The person who donated them to the Settlement Home for Children thought they might be valuable. She said they might be sterling but there aren’t any sterling notations or brand names. Are the markings helpful in this case? Thanks!

This is electroplate from the Crescent Silverware Manufacturing Company, Port Jervis, NY.
Mid-20th Century. Decorative, but no precious metal to speak of, so not worth much, I’m afraid.
ETA: Things from Crescent are usually pretty well-made, so they should polish up nicely. Definitely worth a few minutes’ effort.

Looking around on eBay, I see a number of Crescent candelabra pairs being offered for $100-$200. But what I can’t find are any examples that have been sold within living memory. The listings that are out there have been there for months. In one case, the listing is pushing the 2000-day mark! Not a hot market.
