MCM 1970s Modern Spanish Colonial Revival Wooden Cannon and Cannon Ball Bookends

An interesting set of wooden bookends. On one is a black and gold wooden cannon, on the others a pile of gold colored cannon balls. The pieces have black metal brackets on the sides and use square head nails as accent pieces. Some of the nails in the brackets are missing. They will compliment your home decor whether MCM, farmhouse, country, man cave, primitive, rustic, or ????
Each is approximately 6” tall, 3 ⅜” wide, and 5” long.
Paper label on bottom: Made in Taiwan, Republic of China
“Taiwan, then Hong Kong, took over the cheap gee-gaw market, but then things changed again for the better. From 1949 to the mid 1970’s the US had no trade with mainland China. When you see “Made in the Republic of China” or “Made in R. O. C.” these are wares from Taiwan. The rare Chinese wares we received were marked “Made in the Peoples’ Republic of China” until the late 1970’s.” - https://elizabethappraisals.com/how-to-date-a-made-in-________-antique/
