[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 2797172, member: 84"]I found these at a local thrift store last week & thought they were beautiful, but the $199 price + I couldn't find another example to see what they were worth, etc.. made me pass. I saw them again today & they're color meant they were 1/2 price, but again I couldn't find them (lots of other atlas holding the world bookends though) & when I told the manager he agreed to sell them to me for $75. Did I do good? Who made these? When & where are they from? Any help would be appreciated. Also - any ideas on how to take the sharpie written price off the bottom? I usually use nail polish remover, but on felt or cotton, etc.. it's just going to leave a black smear!
