A bookend that has turned green with age and features a relief Lindbergh's entire body. The figure of Lindbergh is standing in a flight jacket and pants wearing a tie. His left hand is resting on his hip while his right hand rests at his side. Behind Lindbergh's body the nose and tail of the Spirit of St. Louis is visible. The wing of the aircraft extends from behind Lindbergh and is wider than the base of the bookend. "WE" has been set in relief to the right of Lindbergh just underneath a crescent that has been engraved into the metal.
