<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DBinSV, post: 354625, member: 7320&quot;]Thank you for sharing those wonderful photos of owls atop books! It would certainly make sense that this was a graduation gift.</p><p><br /></p><p>The idea about that protruding piece being a weight or holder to keep the book open sounds right on the mark to me. When I look at it from the front, it seems that there is a handle on the left. So maybe it was a tool for keeping books open that was popular a century ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Really appreciate all the excellent insight![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
