Pair Antique 1836 Austro Hungarian Loth .812 Silver Candle Sticks As Is LK

Description

Good morning from Congers, NY.  I really love figuring out older, obscure silver marks.  This one took a bit of sleuthing.  Beautiful antique sticks with a story to tell.  Happy eBaying.
Pair of antique (1836) Austro Hungarian candle sticks.  Each stick appx. 8.75" tall, 4" across the base.  Marked as shown with the correct date mark for 1836, the "VR" mark for payment made against duty, and an unknown makers mark of "LK".  Also an "F. V." set of owner's initials on each stick.  The "13" which is part of the date mark is for 13 Loth, which is for us .8125 silver, for sake of sanity I round down to .812.
The stick with the original "whitish" bottom has some dings and dents.  It stands straight on a table; the tilt is not present in person.  Weighs in at 8.5 Oz. Troy (obviously weighted, just trying to give some idea of overall size and weight).  Both sticks have beautiful wriggle work and engraving.
Second stick- modern black base- has repairs.  Repairs visible on base with a patched hole, repairs visible on stick part above the bottom joint.  I feel like these repairs give the item some flavor and back story; either you dig this kind of thing or you don't. Wabi-sabi.  Repaired stick weighs in at 8.52 Oz. Troy.
I think these may (MAY?) be Shabbos sticks.  I have no way of proving that so I'm not going to insist.  Again, you pays your money, you takes your choice.
