Vintage Hollow Brass Standing Rabbit Candle Holder

My mother received this candle holder as a gift for her rabbit collection when my folks were living in South Carolina during the 1980s. The rabbit is hollow brass and stands 8 1/4" tall. It's about 3" wide and 1.5" deep. As you'll see from the photos, the candle cup and saucer are removable for cleaning. I know my mother had a candle in it, because I saw it. Whether or not she burned it in the holder is uncertain.
I am not going to clean this item, because I always remember it being this brown color. The original box it came in (which is no longer available) said the rabbit was brass. The felt bottom needs a brushing, and I'll take care of that before I pack it up.
A pair of these candle holders sold at one site for $165 in auction. Stored in a non-smoking environment.
