    I have a few sterling silver candle holders (a few being like 5). They are about a foot tall. I've got them sitting in a misc. pile, what do you think the yard will take them as?

    Candle holders have a very thin foil of sterling around a plaster or other material. you basically need to rip that off and beat it with a hammer. about a month ago I had a small one (4 or 5 inches tall ) that fetched about $5.50. there is also a steel center bolt or somesuch that will give it a bit of strength.
