Collection: Book Ends

This is so cool for all you Gladiator fans. This helmet is very well made and has a good weight to it. This is more fitting for an adult as it is a full-size helmet, not really meant for a kid. Leather straps are a little bit on the small side, but they worked well for me. The leather inside the helmet is comfortable and does have some adjustability so you can fit it to your liking. Once on the helmet is on there is no contact with the metal to your face at all, the front guard is very close but still doesn't touch. You might have issues wearing glasses underneath if you need to see with it on, you might need to get contacts. The metal is nice and shiny and just looks and feels amazing...ready for Gladiator 2!!!!

I like this helmet, and it fits perfectly. The craftsmanship is good, and it looks very similar to the helmet worn by Russel Crow in the movie Gladiator (2000). The helmet is sturdy and comfortable to wear since it comes with a lining. It also comes with a chin strap to keep the helmet from falling off.I wouldn’t set this helmet down on the side against a soft surface since the spikes can damage the surface. There are imperfections in the grinding, but it adds to the character of the helmet and its intended use during that time period. Halloween is almost here so I am piecing my gladiator costume together for our annual Halloween house party. Highly recommended.

This Gladiator Maximus Arena Helmet is very detailed. It can be worn as a costume prop or used as decor. The Helmet is actually a two piece item that required some assembly. The face mask has to be secured to the helmet with a screw on each temple. This was a super simple process. Overall this is a great conversation piece at a great price!Very Impressed!

Beautifully made brass clock with Compass. Works very well. Really read. Light weight. Small but stunning.

Arrived with the face mask not attached to the helmet. Took a couple min to get it attached because at first it didn't seem to fit, but if you just force it a little more than youre comfortable with it goes on well. Looks pretty awesome and is actually decently comfortable. They took the extra step of padding the nose which is great because the two contact points are head and nose.Strap could definitely be longer - barely makes it, but probably won't buckle it anyway.Because others mentioned it, I'll note that it was very well packaged and arrived undamaged with all points in tact!

This is a really well made, high quality helmet. The appearance of it is stunning, the detail is very intricate and nicely made in my opinion. It fits surprisingly well if you plan on wearing it, but it could use some padding in that instance. It’s a beautiful centerpiece or collectors item to be put on display in my opinion that everyone will love and talk about.

I have a bit of a steampunk/ antique theme in my bedroom, and this fits right in! The brass/bronze color is very nice, and I love the watch and compass features. The pocket watch part is battery-powered, and I'm not sure how I'd change it when that time comes (will need to look into it; surely is easy enough). The inscription on the back is inspirational. Great gift or an addition to your decor!

This timepiece/compass combo is wonderfully designed and functions well. It feels heavy in the hands and the letters and engravings are flawless. I especially love the added anchor design on the front of the clock for the perfect pairing of these two devices.I keep this in my home office and just love the quality of it. This is a good value for a really special piece!

"Gladiator" is one of my all-time favorite movies, so I was thrilled to find this mask available. I'll likely put it on a stand and display it on my dining room table. The mask is very sturdy, and I was pleasantly surprised by its heavy-duty feel since it's made from steel. This is definitely not a mask for wearing, as the inside is quite rough and unfinished, which would likely scrape your face. However, it is life-size and makes an excellent piece for someone to hang on the wall or display on a table, as I plan to do. If you're a fan of the movie, this is a fantastic collectible.

This is a Very Beautiful -what looks to be- Steampunk inspired 'item'!I say item because not only does it have a fully functional "Victoria London 1876" Pocket Watch, but the base that the pocket watch hangs above is a fully functional Compass!!All set in Brass!!And absolutely stunning!!This will make a wonderful gift!It is definitely a conversation starter for sure!!This has an inspiring Bible Verse or "I love you" on the back that you can choose between as well!The watch time can be set just like any standard timepiece. **Gently pull the wind away from the main body of the watch. **Turn the wind until it reaches the proper time and just push it back into place.KEEP IN MIND: You don't need to pull the wind hard or far, just until it clicks.If it does not start to tick away, you might need to wind it. I'm not sure if it can be wound, it does mention having a quartz power system, so you might need to just take it to a Jeweler..Unfortunately this did not come with any kind of instruction to it.This is about 2 inches in diameter.And the compass that this watch dangles over is a fully functional compass also in brass.This, too, measures at about 2 inches in diameter.So far I have not needed to calibrate anything but reset the time.Everything to this item is working and stunningly so!This is an amazing piece!And it will make an amazing gift!!I am loving this and I am sure if you have a friend or family member that likes the Victorian Era or likes the Steampunk genre than this is an excellent gift for them!
