OMG It is.  It unscrews. I thought it turned into bookends.  Thank you so much.  Do you recognize the logo?

Could you possibly take another photo of the base in close-up? Try to make this as sharp as you can:

That photo is a great help. Looks like Vallean (?) Replicas & Rarities. Here are some others:

Make that Valleau Replicas & Rarities (not Vallean):

Could be the replica of "Rarities" the race horse. Vallier (sp) could be the farm or trainer.

No connection to Rarities so far, but I found the name of the owner of a horse farm, Paul Valliere.... Apparently, he was a whistleblower in a scandal with the horses in 1996.  

Looking for horse farm logos / branding ...

Made by Valleau Studio, based in Saugatuck, Michigan (see label in first link for the logo):

Thank you so much.  I have been researching this for 2 days.

Love finding out about history of things
