5.28.26 MAY ANTIQUE & GLASS AUCTION
Lot 329:
Description
This lot features a group of large-scale blow-molded plastic holiday decorations designed as lighted candles. Each piece consists of a white cylindrical body with spiral-painted stripes in shades of blue and green, topped with a molded faux-drip wax collar. The candles are supported by fluted, flared bases. The top of each unit features a removable translucent yellow plastic diffuser shaped like a candle flame. The construction is hollow-formed blow-mold plastic typical of mid-to-late 20th-century outdoor seasonal decor. No manufacturer marks or serial numbers are visible on the exterior surfaces of the pieces. Based on visual characteristics and market consensus, these items are attributed to Empire or a similar period manufacturer such as Noel.
Condition report:
The items show signs of age and previous outdoor display. Visible wear includes scattered surface scuffs, scratches, and light dirt accumulation throughout the plastic bodies and bases. There is noticeable fading and some loss to the painted stripes. The white plastic bodies and yellow flame covers exhibit minor discoloration and surface oxidation consistent with weathering.
