Offered here are original heavy bronze bookends depicting President Warren G. Harding with a golf club in hand. These bookends specifically refer to Harding as President, and include "U.S." and a bald eagle topped crest. Therefore, we can definitively date them to Harding's Presidency, which was among the shortest in history at a little over 2 years - from 1921 to 1923. 

 

Though we do not know for certain, there is a good chance that these bookends are unique, and may have been a gift for President Harding himself. 6 1/4" tall, each weighs 3 pounds 5 oz.
