All recorded candlesticks by Francis Lea, Richard Withebed, Hugh Quick and Benjamin Cooper were well marked by the pewterers and only token touches are illustrated in this compilation
although all marks are available from my computer. I o exported candlesticks were struck with the secondary export mark of the crowned rose for .. best alloy'' which confirms my theory that
the candlestick makers of London consistent!)' used a lead alloy as did the other hollow ware makers
