These bookends can be displayed separately or as a pair. They are an ideal accent piece for an MCM living room or den. Or display them with your other treasures from the golden age of Florida tourism.
From 1950 until his death in 1993, Tom Gaskins ran a roadside tourist attraction in Palmdale, on the west side of Lake Okeechobee. He wanted to call attention to the natural beauty of cypress knees, that grow around the base of the swamp cypress, in the rapidly vanishing Florida cypress swamps. He harvested cypress knees of various sizes and fashioned them into decorative sculpture, lamps, and table bases, and then polished them to highlight the remarkable curves created by nature. He was something of a character, and appeared on the Tonight Show several times in his later years. Please note - the final photo is a business card from Thomas Gaskin's emporium. It is NOT part of this sale. Don’t hesitate to contact me with questions.
