Re: Antique Japanese Bookends help.

They look molded mass-made. Impossible to tell who might have sculpted the original template for the molds.

Nothing you show suggests Japanese. If made in Japan for export, probably middle to late 20th century. A 'bookend' is not a Japanese concept. The figures are pseudo-Viking, warrior and cleric.

Good luck,
Cal
