Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:18429420 |
VERY NICE PAIR OF ANTIQUE FOOTBALL BOOKENDS, OR NEAR ANTIQUE, THESE LOOK AND SHOULD DATE TO 1930 OR SO.. NEAT IMAGE OF PROBABLY THE RUNNING BACK HURDLING OVER A COUPLE OF DEFENSEMEN.
THEY ARE BRONZED CAST IRON WITH A WONDERFUL PATINA, I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET THE GLEAM IN A FEW OF THE PICTURES, NOW NEAR SUNSET. THE ONLY MARKINGS ARE THE WORD "COPYRIGHT" ON THE BACK LOWER RIGHT AND THE COPYRIGHT SYMBOL ON THE LEFT.
THEY MEASURE APPROXIMATELY 5 7/16 TALL BY 4 1/8 WIDE AND THE BASE IS AP...PROX 1 13/16 WIDE, EACH ONE MEASURES 2 POUNDS, WHICH, TOGETHER WITH THEIR HEIGHT MAKES THEM VERY USEFUL BOOK ENDS. THE FINISH APPEARS ORIGINAL PATINA WITH BRIGHT HIGHLIGHTS AND NO APPARANT WEAR, SPEAKING OF WEAR, THE FELT ON THE BOTTOM LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL. THAT SAID, THE FINISH IS GREAT, THERE IS NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER, FINISH IS UNCLEANED, AS FOUND, YOU CAN GET MORE GLEAM IF YOU WANT TO CLEAN THEM UP.
