Repairing a Brass Candlestick

A brass candlestick brought to me for repairs had lost a crownlike bit of ornamentation once fitting on the top of the grease cup. To make a finish at this point I soldered therein a heavy brass nose ring. The soldering being concealed on the under portion, the effect was very good, and strength was added to the thin brass cup, preventing possible denting of the edge.—James M. Kane, Doylestown, Pa.
