Each measures 5 1/8" tall and 3 3/4" wide; the pair weighs 3 pounds 14 ounces. I guarantee the image on the front is the historical Edgar Allan Poe cottage at Fordham NY, a section of The Bronx. These were made by B&H as part of a series depicting the homes of famous American authors & poets. Both have the B&H embossed trademark center back bottom edge. The previous owner added some felt material to the bottom for scratch protection. Both are in essentially fine condition with no cracks or chips and a nice aged patina - see detailed photos. Bradley & Hubbard is a name found on many metal objects. Walter Hubbard and his brother-in-law, Nathaniel Lyman Bradley, started making cast iron clocks, tables, frames, andirons, lamps, chandeliers, sconces, and sewing birds in 1854 in Meriden, Connecticut. Before it found large success with kerosene-burning lamps with glass shades in the 1870s, Bradley & Hubbard mainly produced clocks, along with call bells and sewing machines. The company became Bradley & Hubbard Manufacturing Company in 1875. Charles Parker Company bought the firm in 1940. There is no mention of Bradley & Hubbard after the 1950s. The Edgar Allan Poe Cottage (or Poe Cottage) is the former home of American writer Edgar Allan Poe. It is located on Kingsbridge Road and the Grand Concourse in the Fordham neighborhood of the Bronx, New York, a short distance from its original location, and is now in the northern part of Poe Park.The cottage is a part of the Historic House Trust, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has been administered by the Bronx County Historical Society since 1975, and is believed to have been built in 1797
