Description
The metal could be bronze with a copper patina. The metal is not magnetic and so has little or no iron content.
On the back is the name VEXIL WEISGERBER and the copyright symbol. Vexil Weisgerber was the son of Charles Weisgerber, a respected Philadelphia citizen who founded the Betsy Ross House Museum in the very late 19th century. The Weisgerber family lived upstairs from the museum. The bookend was most likely sold as a souvenir in the museum.
