Boy you are bored lol The guys in the white coats commin soon?? :crazy: Never seen them bookends before. Did you Google them by any chance:huh: Try E bay too, you will be amazed what is for sale there. But Aluminum before 1900's is rare. I bet they are from the 1980's or up.

i know they are not that old george but i couldn't find any record of these being sold on the ethan allen website or e-bay so,was just curious if they may be worth something (because of the name and being out of production) besides aluminum scrap prices lol not that i'd scrap em of course

They are pretty cool. I can't believe there isn't something on the EA site that would lead you to these. :-\ I have lots of time on my hands right now so I'll see if I can find something. ;)
