This shelf holds some really great and beautiful old leather bound books and two classic hood ornaments from the 1930's. The oldest book on the shelf is called "The Pleasures of Imagination" and is 222 years old, published in London in 1795. The book on the far left is Longfellow's poems from 1879. Rudyard Kipling's "Kim" is the green book from 1900. Most of them are from the 1800's. The copper hood ornament is from a 1930's Chrysler and the silver colored one is from a 1930's Chevrolet.
