We were immediately impressed when we saw this modular aluminum chanukiah with its particularly interesting design and allowance for creative rearranging, .

Pal-Bell covered candy dish (catalogue no #318 - "Ruth"): this hand-finished cast brass candy bowl with hinged cover and dark green patina (The image suggests a blacker hue than the actual color.) exemplifies the attractive metal pieces produced by the Israeli company Pal-Bell during the 50's. The cover is embossed with an image of Ruth harvesting wheat and around the lid is a decoration of grape laden vines. Some of the underlying brass was allowed to peek through the patina forming highlights in the image. The bowl is in good condition with a few minor dents, scratches and patina loss. Stamped on the bottom surface are the company logo, "made in Israel" in both Hebrew and English, and the number 220.

A fused glass plate decorates the front of this aluminum tzedakah box. The removable cover, with tzedakah in metal letters, is also made of fused glass and is topped with a spherical glass knob. The Israeli born artist, Tamara Baskin, writes of this piece, "During his journey, Jacob stopped to rest. That night he had a dream of a Ladder going from the ground to the Heavens. At the top of the Ladder stood the Lord and told Jacob that the Land here would be his". Since these tzedakah boxes are hand made, each piece differs slightly and the one you receive may not be identical to that shown here.

An attractive pushke from roughly the middle of the 20th C. It has a slight indentation on the rear towards the top, a small ding on one side and some small scratches and scrapes throughout the lithographic cover. The top is scratched and has a few small rust spots. The overall condition - a good specimen with the wear expected in a box that has been used. The lock and door is intact, but there is no key.

These aluminum candlesticks, made in Israel, have a unique design in that the burning candles will be outlined by the aluminum back plate. And while designed to appear light, the sturdy bases give the candlesticks some heft. Each holder is signed on the bottom with the designer Adi Sidler.
