Building Doorway Souvenir Replicas
When is a door not a
door? When Its ajar. That’s the old riddle that makes me think of souvenir coin
banks and other replicas which just represent a door. From a bronze doorway bookend to a ceramic
Asian entryway, souvenirs sometimes just depict part of a structure. Other examples include the front of the
Worchester Federal Savings Bank made by Banthrico and an antique brass doorway
of a Norwegian bank reproduced as a coin bank. Do you know of other souvenir doorway replicas?
What about Petra - the Monastery and Treasury? Also, Central Bank of Albany, NY and Brockton High School, MA bookends (or were they door stops?). And I have a set of Stanley Home Products Doorways in ceramic. Joe K.
ReplyDeleteDo you know the value or maker of the bookend to the left at the top. The one with the door and the holes where the windows are? I haven’t been able to find the pair I have anywhere! Thank you!
