This is a set of vintage Wooden and Metal Abacus Bookends. Not sure of wood type but has nice grain and stain. Seen a few types but these are very detailed. They measures 6 3/4″ tall, 4″ wide and 4 1/2″ deep counting bottom metal. These are older and have nice Patina showing age. Weight is good at 14 1/2 oz for the pair. Books not included. Metal looks brass and nonmagnetic.
Both have wear from use and age scratches, scuffs, dings dents bends tarnishing, nice Patina and look great! I did not detail these so should clean up and look better once polished up. All counting beads are present and seem to work well.
Guessing made 1970’s. Great old Asian bookends! Please check pictures for description and condition..
