Description: Art Deco Winged Cherub, Fairy, Angel in the Forest Metal Bookend 1920's With Masonic History It helps when the manufacturer stamps a date on the item, in this case 1926. This whimsical duo of cherubs or forest fairies are reclining in the woods, leaning up against giant books. The finished metal is meant to look like bronze with some green patination applied to the dark metal. These heavy bookends are in good shape. As art objects go, these are nice on their own or to help hold books, plants, CD's, or anything you like. They measure 6" high and close to 5" wide along the sides. They weigh about 7 pounds. The bottoms of bookends have firmly welded plates beneath and then are nicely lined with a short pile green velvet to protect them whatever the bookends rest upon. What is rare about this set, is that they have some known history. The oldest Tuscan Masonic Lodge, No. 704 in Pennsylvania appears in raised letters on the books' binders so Ronson (famous cigarette lighter company) company must have produced these as a special request of the Tuscan #704 Free and Accepted Masons (F. & A. M.) Lodge in 1926. This seems to correspond to the Mount Olivet Lodge in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Nice, historic objects d'art from another era. I trust you will enjoy them as much as I have.
