OK I have been trying to track down these two doorstops or bookends or whatever they are !! I decided to try the Kovel`s site thinking that perhaps they had someone that knew who made them !! When I looked at the forum there to see how active it was all I saw were questions and a few that read them but the replies were zeros all the way down except for an odd one or two !! Now wouldn`t you think that as well known as the Kovel`s are that there would be a few there that actually know something ?? All I saw were those that read the questions but no one that takes the time or has the knowledge to answer them !! Sad !! I did answer one even though I was not entirely sure about it !! I have written to the two specialist collector sites but they haven`t bothered to answer !! Any other ideas anyone ?? Driving me nuts to not find anything on them,,not even repro`s !!

Well, I have never been to Kovel's site but i think they primarily write price guide books

Totally agree with Jacon4. They sure don't want anyone on their forum to give a wrong answer when they are known (their livelihood) for books containing accurate information on antiques and values.
I agree, I thought Kovels had a staff that helped answer and monitor their forum and was sadly surprised to see that isn't the case.

for once mart I think I can help you.
antique roadshow will answer your question. I have had help twice and my daughter has a number of times.

How is that Sugarcube ?? I have seen their sites but figured it would be a bust !! Where did you go ??
-
just look up their website mart, they show the appraisers and you can pick one.
I'll try to find the link for you--they write right away or at least they did for us

Sounds good to me !!

timbgordon@mac.com is one I found for collectibles-
there's a ton more but perhaps you can start with him collectibles are his specialty.

Thanks Sugarcube !! I appreciate it !! Will see what they say !!

glad I could help let us know what he says
