My grandmother's chock full library shelves had a few bookends and statues that punctuated them. This plaster figure has a price sticker of $4 on the bottom, which leads me to believe that in the 40's, she probably purchased it at an country auction or flea market. It has a couple chips, but I can't remember a time not seeing it and associating it with my early childhood love of books.
I'm curious about it's possible manufacturers date. It has no stamps or identifying marks.
I have the same statue!! I think it was my grandmother's. On the back of the book is the number 1431. She lived in Trenton, NJ. Wish I knew more about it!
@bocc1018 I just looked at the back of mine and it also says 1431! For a brief time, my grandmother lived in Haden Heights, New Jersey! I'd love to know more, too!
