Andy, I have seen the bookends at a regional in Dearborn. They are even better looking in person. Great set!!

Don't come into the clock category to often, but figured I would post a pic of this clock. This Cathedral or Church clock is made almost entirely of Brass. Hand made in the early 1800's. I don't have my good camera handy, so I am not sure how the pic will look. Clock stands approx. 19" tall.

I have had a few questions about this clock. For anyone that is interested and has the resources, there is a nice article in the April 1986 Bulletin. If anyone is interested in seeing the article, I can also scan it and put it on the board or email it to you.

Wood composite material ,cast from mold. My most popular clock for non clock collectors....comments range "oh that dog with those rotating eyes" to the "Willards are nice but give me that dog"
