This collection features four sets of vintage bookends in various styles. The lot includes a pair of solid bronze sailing ships marked "NBY", a brass-tone pair depicting "Mr Pickwick Entertains", and a bronze-tone set with portraits of Henry W. Longfellow. A fourth set, made of SyrocoWood, is a mismatched pair featuring a scribe and a stagecoach scene.

Condition

Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The Longfellow pair shows notable finish wear and oxidation. The solid bronze ships and Mr. Pickwick pair exhibit a natural patina and minor surface marks. The SyrocoWood bookends are a mismatched pair; they show some light scuffs and one is missing its bottom felt. Please see images for details.
