A PIECE OF AMERICAN GLASSMAKING HISTORY

The Fostoria Glass Company was celebrated for producing some of America's finest elegant glassware. These eagle bookends represent a particularly interesting chapter in the company's history, having been manufactured for only a brief period during the early World War II years.

Their bold eagle design reflects a classic symbol of American strength, freedom, and national pride.

Unlike many modern decorative bookends, these vintage Fostoria examples are exceptionally substantial, weighing approximately 6 pounds combined, making them both decorative and functional.
