Some have summorized this set has a depiction of the overall"Flight" or movement of the American Indian away from the influx of foreign immigrants who were taking over the Indians home lands. The set was titled by the artist as“The Flight” so it is obvious the brave is fleeing from some type of danger. This L-shaped is very simplistic on the back side but very ornate on the fronts.

See my Store for many more antique bookends in nice condition! You are bidding on a set of polychrome bronze clad antique bookends that depict a pirate holding a sword and leaning against a tree trunk. They were manufactured circa 1928 by Armor Bronze with their name on the rear(seen in photos) The base measures 4.25 x 3.5-inches in size. And it stands 10.5-inches in height, which is extremely tall for most bookends. One bookend weighs 42.6 ounces and the other one weighs 38 ounces. See photos for more details. These bookends are in very good condition. There are no cracks or chips in the metal surfaces. There is a bump to the rim of the hat on each bookend. Some waves in the swords, and the felt pad on the bottom is nearly wore off on one bookend. The painted surfaces have a few areas where the paint has been rubbed off. I'd estimate ... moreabout a 5% loss and it is therefore not readily noticeable. The painting is unusual in that the gold paint from the torso area appears as runs on the pants in a couple of areas, but may have been part of the design. A nice set showing only a few blemishes.

BOOKENDS ARMOR BRONZE CLAD FISHERMAN SALVATORE MORANI EXCELLENT
Check. AUCTION DESCRIPTION: ARMOR BRONZE 1917-1929“Fisherman” aka“Trawler Man” This set of matched bookends depicts an old time fisherman or many times called a trawler man. The trawler name came from a type of boat used to fish in lakes and the ocean. They used different types of nets for catching different types of fish. Some nets allowed the fish to swim through them just far enough to be caught by the gill flaps and stopped the fish from backing out of the net. The net shown with this fisherman appears to have been a drift type net for it has floats attached to the nets. The float were attached to the top of the nets and allowed the net to stay on the surface and hang down. Many times the net was drug through the water with two boats attached to each end and the fish were caught just under the surface. The hard part about this type net ... morefishing was once the nets were full of fish the fishermen had to pull the nets in by hand and it was a very hard job in deed. The person with this all day job was sometimes described as a toiler simply because it took tremendous strength to pull in a net full of fish. This fisherman wears the typical seafaring hat seen by many working men who were on boats of any kind. The wide brimmed hat kept the pouring and splashing water out of their faces as they worked on the ship and boat decks. This fisherman displays a hardened body of strength and a very determined and strained facial expression. This set is a true natural honey bronze colored(NOT PAINTED) clad set in absolutely wonderful original condition with deep aged patina in the fisherman’s net crevices and other deep non wear areas. There is no damage. No breakage, or clad separation from the inner mold and the wire wicks were shown before I put on a new set of original green colored bottom felts. This is one of the larger sets designed by Salvatore Morani and is a part of several sets depicting laborious men of different trades. Morani designed for several companies including Armor Bronze Foundry by whom this set was pro

BOOKENDS ARMOR BRONZE CLAD PUPPY DOG ORIGINAL DARK CHOCOLATE COLOR RARE PAIR
Check out my other items! AUCTION DESCRIPTION: Armor Bronze-National Metalizing Co. 1917-1948“Snuggling Puppies” Circa: 1918-20 Guaranteed to be one of the oldest and all original Armor Bronze Production’s in the early bronze clad issue. These have a wonderful chocolate bronze finish with aged and bold patina. This set has not been listed in any price guide as of this date and would be considered extremely rare and especially considering their wonderful near flawless condition. Armor Bronze collectors will absolutely love this adorable set. This set’s theme is two small puppies cuddled together with one resting his head on the others hip while the other is resting his or her head on the rib area. The breed appears to be English or Irish setter or possibly another type hunting dog. It would also be my guess that they are resting on a very ... morelarge canine pad of the time or possibly just a cloth pallet of hay. The bottom of the base is sculpted with an ornate design leading me to believe it is a very large canine bedding pad. They are both signed in the earliest Armor Bronze shield and script of Armor Bronze Co. and copyright sign which also indicates the earliest of Armor productions. Note: Since very early bookends were made for smaller books of the times many people have found they can use bookends for numerous other jobs. I have used this set for simply paper weights. Specifications: Height: 4.50” Depth: 4.25” the pair, Width: 5.15, Condition: This set is in excellent to near mint condition. Cladding is completely tight to under mold. There are no felt coverings and the bottom cladding is tight with original raked lines on one and the other is smooth with wire wick ends present. This set is the only set I have ever owned or seen in my 43 years of collecting and selling bookends and I have contacted several of the oldest collectors I have corresponded with over the years and it is the only pair they have ever seen. So I would venture to say this is one of the rarest sets Armor produced. PLEASE OBSERVE ALL PICT

If you are a Armor Bronze bookend collector this is a must opportunity to buy one of the nicest sets available.

The oldest extant version dates to the late 18th century. Sightings in the 19th and 20th centuries reported the ship to be ... moreglowing with ghostly light. If hailed by another ship. The crew of the Flying Dutchman will try to send messages to land. Or to people long dead. In ocean lore, the sight of this phantom ship is a portent( something that foreshadows a coming event of doom. See Wikipedia“The Flying Dutchman.
