Candle Holder - Bachmann Alpacca

By Any88, 20 August, 2012
Description

Guys and girls, I did not know the category, so Im sorry If I chose wrong one.

I have this - candle holder that my mother found more that 37 years ago. (Im from Croatia). This candle holder was always I had my eye on, but only now, when I placed the light right over that thing and took my magnifying glass - I saw something I always wished for - some kind of a stamp.

Im stoked that I saw it, and it says Bachmann Alpacca

Im not sure what that is - but im guessing its a sign that its silver?

Im begging you, shed some light on this. My phone came is bad, so I was not able to take a clear and detailed picture of a stamp. Tell me all you know, and tell me also this - Do you recommend paying for appraisal, and if you do, im wondering - do you receive some certificate and proof of an appraisal.

Just for the record - magnet is not sticking to the candle holder. :)

Thank you.
