1910’s bronze bookends by Armor Bronze featuring a seated reading monk .

The company we know as Armor Bronze started as The National Metalizing Company. While some folks seem to think that the company was in business as far back as 1880, our research leads us to believe 1910 is closer to the actual founding date. Bronze was then electro formed onto the plaster mold. This was extremely innovative in the 1920’s. Unfortunately, it was also very costly for labor and materials. Some bookends could take as long as three days to be completed. They created some of the most detailed and sought after bookends we have today.
They are in good antique condition- normal wear sign due to age on the finish- both has some loss to it’s surface color which is very normal compare to their age.
Measurement: 7.5” H x 4” W x 4” D / each.
It’s very heavy, more than 7 pound the pair.
