Description

THIS AUCTION IS FOR A SET OF TWO OF THE
SUPER RARE IN MINT CONDITION
ANTIQUE CRYSTAL
FOSTORIA #2585
EAGLE BOOKENDS THAT WERE
PRODUCED BETWEEN 1940-1943
BY THE AMERICAN COMPANY
"FOSTORIA"
7-1/2" HEIGHT AND 5" WIDTH. HOWEVER WHEN THE AMERICANS ENTERED WWII WITH THE NAZIS, MANY AMERICANS THAT WERE IN FEAR OF THESE BOOKENDS BEING MISTAKEN FOR NAZI PROPAGANDA HID THESE BEAUTIFUL BOOKENDS IN THEIR CLOSETS UNTIL AFTER THE WAR GIVING THEM THE COMMON COLLECTORS NAME OF
"CLOSET BOOKENDS"
. THESE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT SELL WELL FOR "FOSTORIA" DURING WWII (FOSTORIA BEING AN AMERICAN COMPANY) SO THEY LATER ADDED A STAR ON THE WINGS TO HELP AVOID THEIR EAGLES BEING MISTAKEN FOR NAZI PROPAGANDA. THESE BOOKENDS WERE PRIOR TO THE STAR BEING ADDED. BEAUTIFULLY STUNNING AND A EXCELLENT ADDITION TO ANY WWII BOOK COLLECTIONS BOOK ENDS. BOTH BOOKENDS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE WITH NO CRACKS OR CHIPS!
SUPER RARE WITH NO CHIPS OR CRACKS!
THESE ARE PERFECT AND A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANY WWII COLLECTION.
PAYYPAL ONLY!
8 vintage Fostoria heritage highball glasses 5 1/2” clear. Excellent condition no scratches or chips. No sick glass. You will be happy to add these to your collection. My husband double boxes or uses a heavy duty box so they arrive unscathed. They haven’t been used in years, I found them wrapped with 2003 newspapers. I have priced these reasonably, some retailers asking per glass if you can find them in this quantity. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail or Fedex. Cb17
