Pair Of Seated Abraham Abe Lincoln Memorial Spelter Bronze Bookends 1924 NuArt ?:
$69.00

You\'re offerding on a vintage pair of bookends - cast white metal with bronze applied finish - in the form of Abraham Lincoln, seated, Lincoln Memorial style. They have a 1924 copyright date on the back but no manufacturer mark or label - there is an Art Deco style wing motif on either side of Lincoln\'s chair that distinctively identifies them as produced from a mold used by NuArt Creations, a 1920s-1930s period manufacturer - NuArt sometimes used labels, so it is possible that they were bottom-marked with a label that is no longer present, or they may be of more recent manufacture by P.M. Craftsman or another company that uses vintage molds from defunct makers - they\'re in such good condition that I\'m skeptical, honestly, that they\'re 80+ years old.
They are of beautiful presentation, though - 3 7/8\" X 5 3/8\", about 6 1/4\" tall and weighing in at a solid 3 1/2 Lbs each - other than a small ding near the copyright on the back of one of them (see photo), they are finely detailed with minimal if any scratch or wear, and still bottom-felted.
Nice pieces - please review photos carefully to make your own determination of overall condition and appeal, and don\'t hesitate to ask any questions prior to offerding - thanks for looking!
