Sold: Owl Eyes

Figural match holders in the form of owls  /  cast iron & glass / c. 1920s

Unusual antique pair of cast iron owls with bright vaseline glass eyes, c. 1920s. These may have been intended as match holders, though they also double as bookends. The striking and luminous yellow-green eyes appear to be old school glass reflectors, the kind used in early automobiles and signage. Striking and delightfully creepy, these owls will keep a watchful glowing eye from your mantle or bookshelf.

Very good antique condition with minor spots of rust.
