    Hello everyone!!
    Here’s the second set of vintage cast iron boy and girl reading bookends. As I mentioned earlier, these are from around 1920. There were a couple of different manufacturers of these and the styles have slight variations. Maxfield & Parrish manufactured a set of these, but this set is made by an unknown manufacturer. These measure 5 1/4” tall and 6 1/2” tall. These weigh approximately 3lbs each. Pic #3 shows both sets together. I cleaned these the best that I could without ruining the 100+ years of patina and I replaced the felt on both. These remind me of the children depicted in the reading primers that we used in elementary school many years ago.

    Thanks very much for stopping in for a look!!

      Thanks so very much!! I have a couple other sets of these, but they're nowhere near as old as these.
