These large heavy 14'' core cast hand finished candlesticks pushed the boat out for this manufacturing process, so Aces do often have a varying degrees of small insignificant manufacturing faults, textures, and surface marks although this pair are virtually without fault, a small pocket of lead infill on the neck of one base, see last photo.
