A roller skate made by resin, used as bookend or door stop!
Great idea use a moving object to stop... (via Better living through design)

This cast resin bookend comes in either white or green and can add a touch of playful kitsch to your dusty bookshelf. The piece is also heavy enough to function as a doorstop. (via BLTD)

What is it? I want it.

This iconic roller skate functions as a bookend, door stop, or 1970's fetish object, I happen to like bright green (perfect for my treehouse), but there are other colors, white, silver, and gold.

Harry Allen’s Roller Stop will stop you in your tracks. That’s because he’s always looking to shock and perplex. The randomness of his Roller skate door stop cast in chrome is more than just a conversation piece that you wish you had thought of. This one expounds his philosophy that everyday objects can be more complex than they are given credit for. At the same time, the shiny chrome finish, akin to a pair of original baby shoes cast in copper, let’s you slip a laugh without thinking twice.

It could be a book stop or as a door jam. Either way, it's going to be one of the most unique pieces in your home.

These remind me of all those wonderful skating birthday parties I had in the 80s.

The latest in his Reality Series, this cast resin old fashioned rollerskate by Harry Allen functions as a bookend or doorstop and is also available in green.
