Scheffler mentions a pair of candlesticks of the same height with this maker’s mark in a private collection in Stockholm (1452b). Renner’s father, Johann Georg, is also a possible maker (cf. a pair of candlesticks in the English style with the date letter C and his maker’s mark IGR (Scheffler 1432c)).
