We have owned each of the six B & H bird bookend designs over the years, but given that we have bought and sold only six pairs of these bookends in 13 years, they are not a common find. Given that B & H was based in Connecticut, it makes sense that the species its designers chose to portray are eastern natives and the habitats represent natural areas found in the northeast. The six species' habitats range from open fields (Bobolink and Eastern Bluebird), to woodlands (Scarlet Tanager), to forest/field edges (Eastern Towhee), to a little bit of everywhere (Blue Jay and American Robin). In addition to the Blue Jay and Eastern Towhee, there are four other eastern song bird species within this series of B & H bookends, each also accurately representing both the birds and appropriate plants from their habitats. ![]() The artisan used hand tools to carve and etch detail work on each bird. The company was a “master of metalwork,” whose name by the 1890's "was synonymous with high quality and artistic merit" ( see Smithsonian Institution reference below). These birdie bookends are hand-carved from Acacia and feature a burnt wood finish. It grew tremendously over the years, manufacturing 238 patented designs across a wide range of objects such as match safes, clocks, light fixtures, furniture, and architectural elements including railings, window grilles, and elevator enclosures.
