Here we have an outstanding vintage pair of heavy gold/gilded chalkware bookends depicting "PRAYING HANDS & HOLY BIBLE" made by Progressive Art Products. Each measures approx. 9-1/4" high x 5-7/8" wide x 6-1/2" deep. Both are in excellent maintained bookshelf (displayed/used) condition with no chips or cracks, no damage noted...they have been lightly dusted since acquired, not thoroughly cleaned. Both of these weighty bookends have their original bottom green felt protectors, both are marked, "Ⓒ 1965 ~ PROGRESSIVE ART PRODUCTS." Clean with soft, damp cloth - no abrasives is recommended. Came from a well cared for private home collection of many years. These items weigh approx. 14-1/4 lbs., add 3-3/4 lbs. or so for the packing box and packing material.

Payment and shipping...

NOTE: I will be revising, adding and/or changing my SHIPPING INFORMATION as eBay and the Post Office revise or change their information to better serve you. I will use USPS FLAT RATE boxes when I find it cheaper to use than regular USPS Priority Mail boxes or other generic boxes. INTERNATIONAL WINNERS - Please wait for the Invoice to be sent to you by me, and I will use USPS International Rates (AIR only, no more SURFACE shipping by USPS - discontinued.) I will be using UPS for shipping heavier items (usually over 5 lbs., cheaper than USPS rates - or larger boxes over 12" long/36" in total circumference - to US only.)

My short and simple auction "philosophy"...

To ALL: THANK YOU for looking, and if time permits, check out my other auctions for more interesting, unusual and unique items. I will pack the item to withstand just about anything it might encounter on its way to you, ship quickly and am always glad to combine items for you. If you have any questions, just ask.
