VINTAGE BOOKENDS

CHINESE BOY & GIRL

IMAGINATIVE DESIGN

6 3/8” x 5” x 3 ½” - THE GIRL IS SITTING AND READING ABOOK

9” TALL - THE BOY IS PEERING OVER HIS BOOKEND (AND OSTENSIBLY THEBOOKS IN THE MIDDLE) – UNDOUBTEDLY LOOKING IN ON THE GIRL

THESE BOOKENDS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION

THE BOY’S BOOKEND HAS A CHIP AT THE VERY BOTTOM CORNER NEAR HISRIGHT FOOT THAT IS ABOUT ¼” x ¼” – I HAVE LEFT IT AS IS – BUT IF YOU USE ABLACK MAGIC MARKER I GUARANTEE YOU WILL NOT KNOW IT IS THERE EVEN THOUGH YOUCOLORED IT IN.

THE LITTLE GIRL BOOKEND HAS NO ISSUES TO DISCUSS WHATSOEVER

THESE ARE OLD CHALKWARE – EASILY c.1950s

THERE IS FELT ON THE BOTTOM OF EACH – SO NO MAKERS MARK IS VISIBLE(NOT THAT THERE IS NECESSARILY ONE UNDER THE FELT)

MANY ITEMS LIKE THIS WERE MADE AT THE FAVOR WARE FACTORY IN WINNIPEGCANADA IN THE 1940s AND 1950s.

BETWEEN FAVOR WARE AND DEVON WARE, AND ABCO (ALEXANDER BACKER),THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CHALKWARE ITEMS SOLD IN THE U.S. IN THE 1940s TO 1950sWERE MADE RIGHT HERE IN NORTH AMERICA – NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF IMPORTS FROMMAINLAND CHINA AT THAT TIME - SOME FROM HONG KONG, SOME FROM JAPAN - ALMOST NOTHING FROM EUROPE.

AS THEY WERE RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE, THEY WERE PUT TO USE vs. BEING PAMPERED IN A CURIO CABINET. EASY TO BREAK – SO A VIRTUALLY UNDAMAGED SETLIKE THIS WILL BE HARD TO FIND
