1928 cast metal bookends.
The mark indicates the bookends were made by the Connecticut Foundry in Rocky Hill, Conn., on the banks of the Connecticut River. The company was started by two brothers, Anthony and Franklin Enquist, in 1919 on the site of a foundry that had burned down the year before. Little is known about the company, but it made a line of distinctive sand-cast metal bookends from the late 1920s to early 1930s.
