Ayn Rand's book "Atlas Shrugged" inspired me to make these bookends. They would be a fine gift for a person who believes in the philosophy of objectivism.

They are made of recycled steel crane rail. The Sign of the Dollar is CNC machined. The finish is a copper colored powder coat and will not corrode. The bottom has a non skid surface. These bookends are custom made in my home machine shop.

Price is for one pair of book ends. Books, DVDs, and coins are not included. Shipping weight is 7.2 pounds in 6"X6"X6" box.

    Fine work, Terrycan. It is always fun to drive through North Bend WA and look at all the metal figures which are placed all over town, animals, cowboys etc. Who are doing those ?

    Any chance you can post a picture to see if we missed the auction?

    A possible variation, though machining would be more difficult (probably easier to make a casting): an erect, unladen Atlas standing on one end, and a toppled globe on the other. Perfect set of bookends for one's Ayn Rand collection.

    Idea offered with no strings attached. The image popped into my head, and I thought it might amuse those on this board.
