Hey, that was me. They're really cool and I had no intention of selling them but when I was offered $300, I couldn't refuse. To me they were more elegant than the regular version. I kind of wish I didn't sell them, especially since I had just gotten them with the Sideshow Weta Lord of the Rings pedestal. Apparently they were supplied to some bookstores with the pedestal but when I asked Weta about them the response was that to their knowledge only one set of faux bronze bookends was ever made and it's at the Weta Cave. But since I know there was at least 3 more (yours, the one I sold, and a second one the original seller I bought it from had) that can't be right.
