My latest find is this wonderful hammered copper letter holder. My thought when I saw it was, it would be great if it was Roycroft but unfortunately it is not signed. I'm not sure what the form on the front is, any thoughts would be welcomed.
LOL - I thought Roycroft, too! I think that's a Monk or Friar though.
IT'S STICKLEY! I knew I recognized it! YOU SCORED!!

Well - not Stickley, but the period. I think they have some of that in the Swedenborgian church in S.F.
Pair Craftsman Studios hammered copper monk bookends. Originally a Fred Brosi design for Old Mission Kopper Kraft, Craftsman Studios purchased the embossing dies from OMKK during their bankruptcy sale in 1925.
We ween't wrong about Roycroft! The shape is very much the same.
