Vintage cast metal buffalo bookends would make a striking decor accent in a cozy rustic cabin, man cave, Southwestern style room, or a sophisticated library setting.

The antique metal bookends are identical in look and quality as the Verona American Foundry's classic buffalo bookends, but the pieces have no identifying marks.

The cast metal bookends have a copper bronze finish, impressive detail, and a good heft. The vintage bookends are in very good condition.

295.00 USD

Hang a piece of history on your wall. This dramatic Cold War era propaganda poster was a winner in the Marshall Plan European Recovery Program's 1950 poster contest promoting European unity and cooperation.

Designed by Swedish artist Erik Oelmebo, the art poster shows all the European countries involved with the Marshall Plan pulling together to accomplish "Samarbette for Fred, Frihet, Hogre Levnadsstandard" -- Co-operation for Peace, Freedom, and a Higher Standard of Living.

This poster is an original lithograph from 1950 and is in remarkable condition for its age. It was part of the estate of a graphic artist who collected all 25 winning posters in the Marshall Plan poster contest. The posters were all stored flat in a drawer in a climate-controled studio. The poster shows some wear around the edges with very small tears, but no paper loss. The colors are vibrant.

This poster has been stored flat not rolled.

Artist: Erik Oelmebo
Circa 1950
21.5 x 29.5 inches (54 x 74 cm)
Printed in the Netherlands

I have a variety of winning contest posters from this competition, and will be listing them in my shop over the next several weeks. Here are links to the posters currently available. Please get in touch with me if you don't see the poster you are looking for.

Oh dear, this moose is so cute. I couldn't resist picking him up at an estate sale despite his flaws. Made by Copr Ornamental Arts & Crafts, this chalkware moose statue is amazingly detailed, and would be the perfect accent for your rustic home decor, lake cabin, or man cave retreat.

I couldn't find much information on Copr Ornamental. They were known for making chalkware TV lamps in the 1950s.

The moose is in fair vintage condition. It looks as if his head has been repaired. He is missing a portion of his surrounding forest vignette (please see photograph three). There is some paint loss and nicks. The back of the piece is flat and could easily be incorporated into a new work of moose art.

Piece measures approximately 9" long x 6 3/4" tall x 3 1/4" deep. It is impressed along the upper back edge "Copr Ornamental Arts & Crafts."
