My heart skipped a beat on first viewing these-- I thought for sure that they were antique. In fact, they're cast in sections and then seamed (see third photo) in exactly the same way which it would have been done in 1740, but this pair dates from 1925 or so. Height 8 3/4 inches, weight 30 oz. Troy the pair, excellent condition, no monogram, .800 standard. A truly elegant set of sticks, fluted to catch the light from your candles and reflect it back evenly in all directions. Please pardon the slight lean which you see in the one on the right; it is known to photographers as "wide angle distortion" but the item is actually plumb.
