We're not so fortunate to have Antique Markets locally. You definitely have a keen eye to have found the Red Cliff ironstone candle holder.<BR/>I'll have to remember the *wipes* tip, whenever I have opportunity to exercise my Antiquing muscles. I'm hoping to take a trip home to Southern California, the mecca of Antiques/Flea Markets.
