Expected light tarnish and fine scratches can be polished out; otherwise, good estate condition. See our other listings for other pieces in this pattern.
Produced by Towle from 1934 to 2009, Candlelight a pattern that draws on the aristocratic elegance found in Renaissance embroidery. Candlelight flatware has proved to be very versatile in the years since its introduction, and can be used with a variety of china and crystal patterns.
This lovely piece is from the estate of the late Zirkle James "Jim" Estes, Jr., of Charlottesville, Virginia. Jim was born on September 22, 1936, in Charlottesville, to Zirkle J. Estes and Virginia Martin Estes. He was a descendant of Abraham Estes, an English immigrant from Kent, who became a landowner in Virginia in the 1600s. Abraham's two marriages and numerous children produced many descendants, including Joel Estes, who founded Estes Park, Colorado.
Jim earned a BS in Education in and an MA in English from the University of Virginia. He was a teacher for 31 years, the last 25 at Albemarle High School, his alma mater. Jim died of esophageal cancer on January 4, 2021. His ashes are interred in the family plot in Ruckersville Community Cemetery on land donated by his paternal grandparents, as a public cemetery, in 1927.

Photos are likely not actual size; please see item description for dimensions. If there is a defect not discernible in the pictures, it will be included in the text. If there is a concern or doubt, please ask prior to purchase. Remember that color is a very tricky thing to transmit electronically. There are many variables, including lighting, background, physical filters, digital filters, the capabilities of the monitor on which the image is displayed, and the color perception of the viewer.
We purchase our items primarily at auctions and estate sales.

Generally, no. I'm a one-woman operation and I don't have any live models available.
