Jenfred-ware.  Maison Gourmet.  bookends

Recent thrift find.  I'm not completely sure if these are Ben Seibel, but seem to recall reading somewhere that a few of his bookends have been found with both the Raymor label and this one for Maison Gourmet.

Beautiful Scott. Great find! Interesting that a decorative art piece would be classified as "Gourmet?"

Seibel or not, these bookends are great, Scott. And, a thrift store find, no less. Sweet!

Agreed. They have a form. It looks like they they pushing against the books, rather than most bookends which look heavy and bulky.
