Aloha Retread,

 

I had some of the bronze shipwheel bookends years ago. They were made from scrapmetal when the CONSTITUTION was restored and sold to supporters to fund the project. As I recall, there should be a date of 1927 on the fundraising items.

 

Here's a site with the items listed which may answer your question. https://ussconstitutionmuseum.org/collections-history/art-and-artifacts/souvenirs/1920s-restoration-souvenirs/

Many thanks for the quick response. I don't see it on the flier, but it looks too well made to be anything else
