Can Anyone ID These Cast Iron Gnome/Elf Bookends? Bradley & Hubbard?

Hi,trying to get some info on these interesting bookends...she looks like a gnome or elf to me. No maker's mark.

You'll have to do more research, but J.B. Hirsch of Bridgeport, Connecticut

made pot metal bookends with celluloid or fake ivory faces in the 1930's.

They were modeled after high-end real bronze and ivory ones that were popular at the time.

Hi,

They sort of look like the Antique French Art Deco JB Hirsch "Pixie" Gerdago Girls Bookends

I hope this helps!
