Description These are crisp and attractive cast iron Harvard bookends with the Veritas motto in a raised shield with the original gold paint.

They are very heavy, measuring 6 inches in width and 6 1/4 inches in height. On the back is the maker's B&H mark. They are in very good condition. They were probably made between 1930 and 1950.
