PM Craftsman Solid Brass Teddy Bear Bookends/Figurines

This is a pair of heavy, vintage teddy bear figurines, likely functioning as decorative bookends given their reported 5lb weight each. The bears are cast in solid brass with a warm, golden-bronze patina. They feature a seated pose with rounded, stylized limbs and a prominent bow tied around the neck. The craftsmanship is consistent with the Mid-Century to late 20th-century decorative brass aesthetic. Notable features include a smooth, polished finish on the high points of the face and belly, with deeper oxidation in the crevices of the bow and eyes to provide contrast. The bear on the left retains its original 'pm' (PM Craftsman) paper hang-tag, which is a significant indicator of provenance and quality; PM Craftsman was a renowned American manufacturer based in Florida known for high-quality sand-cast metal goods. Condition-wise, the pieces show evidence of age-related tarnish and minor surface scuffing, particularly on the footpads and forehead. There is no visible corrosion or structural damage. The heavy weight suggests they are solid cast rather than hollow-formed, a hallmark of premium desk accessories from the 1970s or 1980s.
