The Long Long Trailer: Brass Bookends


In the behind the scenes photo from the set of The Long Long Trailer Desi makes a romantic gesture by presenting a giant “ring” to Lucy. The ring is a Ben Seibel bookend turned upside down. Ben Seibel Orb Bookends for Jenfred Ware can be found in brass metal and are sought after mid-century pieces.

Recently we looked at a similar black metal pair of owl bookends with no maker mark. Now these Owl bookends are listed on Etsy that have a Made in Austria mark on the base. They are identical to the other black ones except for the color of the marble base.

The Austrian owl bookends above are painted brown like the pair on I Love Lucy but they dont have a marble base. We know the color of the I Love Lucy ones from an original color on-set photo.
