1950s Industrial Black Iron Railroad Tie Bookends

Nice pair of vintage black forged iron railroad tie bookends. These have more character than traditional i-beams, with splayed ‘leg’ supports, almost appearing cartoonish in form.
Wear / loss is original to the fabrication; these are in good, distressed, vintage condition.
Slight variation in size due to the handmade nature of these pieces, but approximate dimensions are: L : 4.9″ x D: 3.75″ x H: 4.25″
Listed separately is a brown pair.
