•••••
Pair of painted bronze Cape Cod fishermen bookends. Engraved on the back; "CAPE COD FISHERMAN, COPY RIGHT 1928, THE CONNECTICUT FOUNDRY CO."  Measures 4 1/2 inches wide X 5 1/2 inches tall.

The foundry was located on the river bank at the end of Glastonbury Avenue beginning in 1865. It was in almost continuous operation from then until 1983 when labor unrest forced its closure. Although the foundry burned down twice, once in 1865 and again 1918, it was rebuilt both times.
