Panama RR Rail and Lignum Vitae Tie Bookends. France and Panama, 1850s. Bookends made from the inverted U-rail used in the first railroad across the isthmus of Panama, and used from 1853 to 1869. The bases crafted from the Lignum Vitae wood ties used in that railroad. Bases 5 x 6 ? x 1 ??. Very good.
