    LOUMANAL
    (436 items)

    I have a small collection of Native American themed Bookends and yesterday picked up these smaller, very fine detailed, Cast Iron examples that I have been unable to find any information on. I have the "Collector's Encyclopedia of Bookends" by Kuritzky and De Costa but they are not represented there. They measure only 3 3/4" tall (top of feather headdress), 4 3/8" across and 1 3/4" deep and are completely unmarked. Any ideas on who made them and when? Thanks everyone. RER (BOB)

      Hi walksoftly! Thank you for your help! I should have checked on eBay before posting these....there are dozens of sets for sale. They are not identified and have different finishes and color. Thanks for directing me to the online auctions. They are listed at between $15.00 to $139.99 so I suppose other owners are oblivious to their proliferation. RER(BOB)

      I was surprised to see so many & some of them are new aluminum reproductions.Whoever it was must have sold lot's of them, Sears-Roebuck perhaps???
