    We are cleaning out shelves in the basement and ran across this elephant bookend that we have had for at least 20 years. It is quite heavy, 2 # 10 oz. and is a copy of Rookwood's elephant bookend designed by McDonald. I think I always thought I would find a second one so I would have a set but I haven't. As you can see, I have not cleaned it up either. The bottom is really strange, almost as if it is glued on but I don't see any seams.
    Any ideas are welcome. I am getting together a box of things for my granddaughter to use in her new apartment and as soon as I get the paint spots off this guy it will go into the box. But, I would love to know who made it. It has some age on it. The Rookwood elephant dates from 1919. This guy is the same measurements as the original.

    Yes he is good looking. I imagine the Rookwood ones are magnificent.
