You did extremely well!! These Imperial Glass candlesticks are considered to be rare, so two...
Glen Thistlewood in The Art of Carnival Glass cites a BV of $800-1200 each. They are US classic carnival so early 20th century

Maybe Glen can add more if she's about...  I'm sure she'd love to see the pics anyhow.

Thank you all  i think ebay sounds the easiest option. To be honest i don't like them but as i am new to glass collecting i tend to buy the unusual i only bought them because they were glass i had no idea they where rare i like glass for its look and feel not so much for its function.
