My great grandparents immigrated from Ireland to America because of the potato famine in the mid-nineteenth century. My father worked as a railroad engineer early in his career. He would have liked these iron bookends upcycled from railroad spikes. Bravo!
The carving on these bookends is extraordinary! I just love them! They are both beautiful and functional! They maintain a place of honor on my bookcase! If you are hesitating about purchasing this item, ease your mind and just take a leap of faith- you will not be disappointed!
