Early Square
& Compasses
Book End or
Door Stop
This early cast iron piece
most-likely started out as a pair of bookends. When one of the pair is
lost the single remaining piece becomes jokingly referred to in the antique
business as a door stop. It is hand-painted and
pictures the All-Seeing Eye, the pillars of Boaz and Jachin, and the Square
and Compasses with the Letter "G".
