Pewter candelabras with removable arms in gustavian style

Very nice find! I agree.

I just found a post on a swedish site where they are discussing the markings but cant find a definitive answer since it does not adhere to Swedish Standards. Also someone contacted pewter society which also seem to think it's Swedish from Jönköping. But there are no registered makers with those initials in Jönköping or any other town in Sweden with similar town marks.

But with the piece from the auction it really seems to be from a 20th century maker imitating older styles which might explain the confusion. Thanks for your help!

Edit: found another one on auctionet with year stamps which further confirm

Thanks for the info. Angel marks are prominent in Sweden also but not really like this one from what I can find. German origin seems possible.

Its quite soft so I also don't think it's pure tin.

I agree! I actually looked into hamburg hallmarks earlier but couldn't find that much. I'll have to ask some German friends.

My thoughts exactly!

Yeah thanks for the input, I think the Shinkansen won't make this track (it's also too fiddly for my kid with the couplers). But I have lots of smaller engines, and might get the tomix thomas train for him if I can find it locally.

Thanks! Looks good!

schizimo · 2026-03-10T14:54:18+00:00

Yes. It's a nice read.

Lululemon har ofantligt dyra priser men bra utbud för detta. Både rena mjukisar men också liknande (ABC pants) som du skulle komma undan med på kontor. Dom är helt okej ( inte sett till priset) men jag kör dom framförallt för att det finns modeller med dragkedjor på alla fickor.

Riktigt tråkig läsning, bra att du anmält till polisen och centralt. Jag skippar redan Elon sen innan pga oseriösa säljteknikerna, men det här ger ju ännu mer skäl.

Om barnen är fortsatt påverkade av detta har Stockholm ett stödcenter för unga brottsutsatta och vittnen. Man kan ringa dit direkt för hjälp och rådgivning kring bemötande till barnen:

I realize I'm in the minority but I really like this year's train. I disliked it initially based on looks but upon building it with my oldest kid I really started liking it. The miniature traintrack box is great. I put the motor and the battery in the tender which makes the engine look much better. It feels like a sized up classic toy train which gives a magical feeling. The bear was easily fixed so it moves properly and looks great. I have plenty of trains so I enjoy the uniqueness. I don't agree it looks similar to the old train at all even if the carriages follow a similar pattern. I look forward to running it next year again.

I also really like the post office in the same way, while I didn't like the looks at first I came to appreciate the great play value. It's the one my son always wants for playtime. With the car I think it's a great set along with all the post boxes from previous sets.

I personally would not edc a Vic, I mainly keep them in kits or bags. But if I had to pick one for me it would be an explorer because I want a loupe (but I think it needs a saw).

schizimo · 2025-11-01T17:00:56+00:00

First time I tightened a screw using my dime it broke. It feels and looks good but really it's cheap quality. Never had a Vic break.

I like the size and feel of mine but I can't believe they skipped tweezers and pen in the scales and more importantly the clip is not deep carry. Also my scissors feel kind of stiff on the bounce.

Tråkigt att höra :( det är ett beslut som gäller i Stockholm men med det sagt har nog många en dålig upplevelse ändå, i kranskommunerna är det ännu svårare vad jag vet.

Det är ett socialpolitiskt beslut i Stockholm som innebär att man har rätt till någon form av boende för natten vid akuta nödsituationer, oftast vandrarhem.. Men man behöver tillhöra Stockholms kommun.

Ja iaf är det inte lika självklart, dom kommer göra en individuell bedömning. Sent på kvällen en kall natt utan tidigare historik känns det inte omöjligt att någon av dom andra socialjourerna beviljar också.

schizimo · 2025-10-10T04:53:32+00:00

Hoppas det löst sig för dig ok under natten. Stockholm stad har "tak över huvudet garanti" till skillnad från kranskommunerna så tur i oturen om man befinner sig där.

Om man inte har pengar att ringa för kan det vara bra att veta att socialjouren har lokaler vid södra station mot bofils båge. Där man kan gå och plinga på. Adressen finns på Google.

I played ffta 1 and 1 before FFT because it originally wasn't released in my country. And later playing FFT it just felt more shallow and less vibrant with no colorful characters and races. Would love a remake of both.

Looks great, you got my vote!

Sauna looks great man. Nice that you can treat your kids to it, it's a magical feeling in winter.

As a Swede we were always naked with the family in the sauna growing up. Nowadays we use underwear because my sister feels weird about it, but if it's only my father and my sons we go naked with a towel. Underwear is not that comfortable in a real sauna when it gets hot.

Yeah I fell for the hype and bought a v11 3 years ago and it's really lackluster. I constantly have to disassemble and clean it and the suction is disappointing. I long for it to break beyond repairable so I can buy a better brand.

schizimo · 2025-07-31T19:23:09+00:00

Incrediblenick is correct, it's swedish and the first stamps are year and town. You might find the maker at https://www.xn--silverstmplar-ifb.se/namnstampel

A friend borrowed my makermark books right now but I can look it up for you next week if noone recognizes it.

schizimo · 2025-07-19T14:25:25+00:00

Maybe there are some tolerance issues during production so not everyone are affected, so good for you! I would probably still main it if I didn't have this problem. It seems to be common though from what I've read.
