Vintage Brass Judaica Hanukkah Menorah with Lions of Judah and Star of DavidAlong with items from parents and grandparents, this cast brass menorah is from the basement in my late cousin's house.
The rampant lions of Judea flank a synagogue menorah and crown.
The Star of David and the lower candle cups can unscrew. The back plate is attached to the base by a bolt and nut.
A magnet does not adhere anywhere on this brass item.
I do not find a clear maker's mark; but, on left side of the back of the base, there are faint marks that are not legible to me even after some cleaning and polishing.
Online, I've seen similar menorahs that, without any shown marks, are said to be made by the
Jewish Immigrant Metalsmiths on New York's Lower East Side, C. 1900.
There is still some tarnish and a slight warp in the back plate and star. Both might be best corrected by first disassembling the menorah.
Approximate measurements:
