My first chanukiah! This was in my shul's small judaica for sale collection, and I think it's vintage. I was told many of the objects have been in the display cabinets since the 1960s, and since I can find no evidence of this chanukiah online, I'm inclined to believe it. If so, this is older than my dad is!
#jumblr#jew by choice#jewish conversion#chanukah#personal thoughts tag#i might lightly clean and polish this but i like the aged brass look of it as it is#i saw some much more elaborate (and expensive/expensive-looking) chanukiahs on amazon but it wouldn't be as special as this one#and franly i like this one better because there's meaning. even if either chanukiah was mass-produced this one still has a personal story#i decided to get this early because i want to start hoarding judaica i will need eventually#i'm a HUGE sucker for old/vintage/antique/secondhand objects like this#i have second-hand dreidels and i want as much of my judaica to be old or secondhand whenever possible#if i can't make it myself then i want it to come pre-loved
