I've looked all over and cannot find these, they are very old and heavy 2-3 lbs. ea. Any collectors out there have an idea?
There are no markings anywhere on them that can be seen.

Well, they look like bookends! Do they have felt on the bottom?
You are awesome!
AR8 you are awesome! Thank you so much, I knew I could count on Collectors Weekly! I just knew it!
And Stef yes the do have felt, but it needs to be reglued and I did know they were book ends, grin....
AR8, as a collector of Book ends, how do you tell if it's bronze, because that's what we thought it was?
AR8, we were told by a couple antique dealers that they were bronze?
Never mind on the bronze check, I just checked with magnet, and the magnet sticks, so it's cast iron.
Thx, Jason, you are just a wealth of info!
