Hershi BermanMontreal, CanadaDear Hershi,You are the owner of a beautiful example of a 1920s-era Bezalel School Chanukah menorah, or Chanukiah. What makes it most unusual are the oil fonts, which are of a style found on Chanukah menorahs from North Africa. I do not recall seeing any Bezalel Chanukiot with North African-styled oil fonts; these must have been issued for a very short period. If your piece would have one of the typical styles of candle or oil fonts, in today’s market the value would be $400-$600. The oil fonts on your piece create added interest, which would bump the value of the Chanukiah up to $500-$700.
