These classic horse busts have been creatively modified by a previous owner, who securely mounted them onto a pair of industrial structural cast iron brackets using flathead screws.  One has a foundry maker's mark. **Material & Testing:** - **Horse Heads:** Magnet-tested solid, non-magnetic metal (likely heavy cast brass or bronze).  Metal sounds like it is solid.  They feature a beautiful aged patina with authentic greenish verdigris highlights in the crevices. - **Bases:** Heavy-duty, genuine rustic cast iron (magnetic). **Condition Details & Character:** - **Paint Speckles:** The horse heads have tiny white speckles of vintage paint scattered across the metal (as seen in photos). This gives them a wonderful, untouched "found in an old barn" aesthetic. - **The Brackets:** The cast iron bracket bases show a heavy layer of surface rust and rough texture, adding excellent industrial grit to the pieces.   - **Stability:** Because the brackets are cast iron, these are incredibly sturdy and heavy. They will easily hold up your largest novels on a desk without sliding, or to use as doorstops. - Please review all photos carefully to capture the exact patina, paint speckles, and rustic rust details.  Seller has not cleaned.  These brackets do shed rust dust, when handled or moved.   **Measurements & Weight:** - **Height:** 6"H - **Base Dimensions:** 8"L x 2 3/4"W. - **Weight:** 19 LBS. 2ozs. — 9 LBS. 9ozs. each.  Extremely heavy.
