Up for purchase is a solid bronze set of bookends--one depicting Lincoln's head and the other one depicting the last paragraph of Lincoln's 1865 Second Inaugural Address.  These bookends were manufactured circa 1921.  The Lincoln-head bookend is marked with the name of the sculptor, M. Peinlich.  Both bookends are marked "solid bronze."  The base measures 3 3/4 x 2 3/8-inches in size and stands 5 3/8-inches in height.  One bookend weighs 32.4 ounces and the other one weighs 31 ounces.  See photos for more details.

These bookends are in very nice condition.  There are no cracks or chips in the metal.  Each bookend has two pin-head-sized dings to the edges, the largest of which is on the rear bottom of one bookend.  There is a black streak and dot on the rear side of the speech bookend.  This is a very attractive set!
