Item Description
This fascinating piece is 2-1/8x2-5/8" with a high relief top surface and a flat underside to serve as paperweight with relief text "Keller Brass Co. 1917." The piece seems to be nickel plated brass. On the image side the two men are posed horizontally but in addition they can be viewed as if seated. Each one has a happy smiling face and has bare feet. The shirts seem to be some sort of jersey like an acrobat would wear. There are a pair of openings between the figures heads and feet which would serve to open a metal bottle cap. Very well made, Exc and the first we've seen.
