Description
This pair of vintage bookends may be the most adorable ones we have found yet! The set features a girl and boy, each dressed in black and white Victorian style clothing. The little girl is wear a black large brimmed bonnet and wearing a white dress and black shawl. The boy is wearing a white top hot, white clothes with a black jacket.
This pair is weighted with what sounds like sand inside. Each is marked with a leaf or flower that has a 'K' inside and dots forming a half circle over the top of the 'K'. Across the bottom of the leaf/flower is a banner with the word JAPAN inside. We found a similar mark in our research that dates to the 1920's-1940's, though we were unable to find a definitive answer to when exactly this pair was produced.
