Unusual vintage wooden bookends featuring hand-painted rooster and hen silhouettes mounted on solid wood bases. Each bookend bears a plaque reading “The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. — 1953.” The hen side also references “Hen No. 6 — 351 Eggs — 1925-1926,” suggesting a connection to agricultural or poultry research at UBC.

A scarce and unusual piece of university and agricultural history that displays beautifully in farmhouse, cottagecore, or folk-art collections.
