When Charles Lindbergh made the first solo crossing of the Atlantic by airplane in 1927, he immediatly became one of the most famous men in the world. Wherever he went, he was greated with parades and fanfare. Some very uniqe objects were made to commemorate the man and his flight, many of which found their way into our collection.
Lucky Lindy perfume, because who wouldn't want to smell like a pilot who spent over 33 hours sweating out a dangerous flight?
Lindbergh was so famous, he has songs sung about him, like "Lucky Lindy" and we have an original record of this smash hit.
Buttons, buttons and more buttons! We have got a bushel of Lindbergh buttons!
While watching a Lindbergh parade in the Summer of 1927, there was a good chance you would get hot. Luckily, some enterprising vendor made and sold Lindbergh fans to keep you cool!
100s of books have been written about Charles Lindbergh...so it is fitting that there are Charles Lindbergh bookends to keep all those books in place!
Lindbergh was no bust, so it is not surprising that we have many busts of him. And even a doll!
What looks like a model of the Spirit of St. Louis is actually a bottle of Charles Lindbergh after shave!
