Well had some good replies and the French Art Deco idea has similar items not flush edged as you'd expect...I wonder if they are French Bookends...
Yes the raised brass screws and and not being flush seems perculiar...like the idea of a secret stash ...I'll definitely check that out ....thanks
Yes it is so definitely been regularly cleaned but chipped on the base...I wonder as a another member suggested,been used as door stops as well?...
Now that's a thought I'll look into that ....thanks
