Picked up this pair of bookends at an estate sale yesterday. The figures are Iron and the bases are marble. They take up more space on a bookshelf for their size. They are implied (an artist/photography term) nude due to the fig leaves that cover the privates area.

What is the price for the art deco nude male bookends
My winning bid at auction was $120.00.
Wow, you got a great deal, must be worth around 600 or so. I have a book on bookends, I have to look at soon, to research a piece, I'll keep my eye open for the same, but that can be so difficult as there were so many different ones made back then, when they were so popular, 20's onward. Beautiful, and you have a great eye for good pieces.
Phil, I liked them they are heavy and on a book case they are best used separately. Thanks for the compliment.
