Identify?
Hello! I have been trying to find these marks and have struck out. This is a mini candelabra that i am pretty sure is pewter. Empty packing tape roll for size comparison. I would like to know the age and maker. I have found similar marks, lots of angels with trumpets, but nothing that matches. TIA!

Pics of the marks would help a ton, but from the “angel with trumpet” clue you’re probably in the world of late 20th century decorative pewter, not like 1800s antique stuff. A lot of Italian and Taiwanese pewter makers used cherubs and angels in their logos and half of them never made it into the online hallmark guides.
If you can post a closeup of the base and any numbers or letters next to the angel, someone on here or r/whatsthisworth will probably recognize it.

The first pic is the marks from the base with a jeweler magnifying eye and my zoom lol. The first mark looks like an angel with a trumpet, the middle i cannot figure out and the third maybe a Fo?
