Description: Here is a set of 21 BMF Nagel stackable candlesticks. We have only photographed 11 here, but there are 21 in total. There is also a round tray that was also designed for this set that we will include, along with four stems from previously broken holders, which are very useful within an assemblage.

These very popular candle holders were ubiquitous in the 1960s. Although the two designers are known, not much biographical information about them is available. Nevertheless, these are becoming increasing collectable and are simply fun to play with. We like to think of them as adult Legos. A group of about 30 recently brought $1,250 at auction so our price is very competitive.

Condition: Very good to excellent. Some retain full chrome while others are more dulled. A few retain their original stickers on the bottoms.
