<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 2801131, member: 6444"]Yes, but the Worthpoint is an original casting, and the OP and ebay listings are both later reproductions. That is clear from the quality of the casting plus other differences. Brass bookends were very often reproduced, with quality of casting going down and details being removed the more recent the casting. OP's is similar to the ebay listing, but the name was removed before casting, so OPs is an even more recent copy it would appear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
