Impressive Vintage Wooden Hand-Carved Ebonized Asian Elephant Bookends, 1940s. This is a beautiful vintage set of two hand carved Elephant Bookends. Each bookend has a determined elephant facing a book, ready to hold it up with all its might. Tusks, eyes, and nails are individually made and placed against the ebony skin of the elephant. Each bookend measures approximately 7” tall, 8” long, and 3.5” wide. Bookend to bookend they measure approximately 16” long. Your books in the center will make the measurement longer. This lovely set is in Excellent Vintage condition. There are signs of wear, one tusk and one nail are missing, and one elephant is a tad bit loose (not shaky loose), but these do not take away from the beauty or the functionality of this strong, majestic duo. There are no irreparable scratches or broken pieces. These are hand-carved and therefore not completely identical. They were preowned. Used lovingly. Please see photos. 

Disclaimer:  Many of the items I sell are vintage, antique or used, and may not be in perfect condition.  They may have age-related wear, imperfections or a minor chip here and there.  You may also see air bubbles in crystal items, which are naturally occurring.  I will point out any and all of these to the best of my ability.  Please review the photos provided carefully, read the description, and judge accordingly. All items are insured for the purchase price in case of damage due to shipping and handling, so please do not throw away any of the original packing materials or shipping box as these will be needed in order to file an insurance claim for reimbursement of the item. Please feel free to contact me with any and all questions you may have before purchasing an item—I am happy to assist.  Thank you for visiting Memory Lane Treasure!

Shipping and Handling: The misnomer regarding Shipping is that the amount charged only covers what it costs to ship an item by weight and if the customer thinks the amount listed is too high for an item that is small or light in weight, they leave confused and dissatisfied. Shipping covers more than just the weight of an item, it also includes logistics costs like packing supplies, inventory storage, transportation, and delivery. Due to the rising costs in our economy, Memory Lane Treasure has had to start charging for shipping; however, to keep the total cost as low as possible for our customers, Memory Lane Treasure has not yet started to charge a Handling fee, which is the cost of labor. 100% Customer Satisfaction is Memory Lane Treasure’s ultimate standard. Should a customer have any questions or concerns, they are always encouraged to contact Memory Lane Treasure before purchasing an item—I am happy to assist.
