About the Item

Wonderful pair of aluminum bookends of an Eskimo outside an igloo by Kentucky Tavern Creation, circa 1940s. The bookends are in overall very good vintage condition with some small dents and paint chips (please see pictures). My understanding is that these are pretty rare bookends and were issued in conjunction with Kentucky Tavern Whiskey in the late 1940s.
