Bookends

[PhilS]

I've lately gotten into vintage bookends. There's lots of variety and prices are reasonable. Anyone else got a similar bug?

I've seen many that I have loved but they are quite expensive - and this is before you add shipping on!

Do you have any photos of your finds?

My bookend collecting career began - and ended - with bidding on a pair of Pompeian Bronze bookends ("The Lovers" I think it's called), where the bidding got up to some astronomical amount and the amount of bidders, idem. I loved the things but crikey was I outta my league!

I have a few deco bookends, nice but not "collectibles", and just for holding up my books!

I too would love to see pix if you have any!

Have you ever seen the Guardians of Traffic bookends?

Can't afford any books now, of course. :eusa_doh:
