Space Shuttle Bookends - Brass

We would like to inform you that your bookshelf is about to become dramatic.

This pair of unsigned, numbered solid brass Space Shuttle bookends captures the shuttle at liftoff — plumes, thrust, trajectory, destiny— all happening right there at the edge of your hardcover copy of The Right Stuff. We’re talking full Cold War optimism energy: titanium coffee mugs, freeze-dried ice cream, Walter Cronkite saying “Go for launch.”

Each bookend is weighty (because space exploration is not for cowards) and features a beautifully sculpted shuttle soaring upward at an angle that suggests: yes, your literary taste is out of this world, and no, gravity has no jurisdiction here.

This pair of solid brass Space Shuttle bookends captures that glorious moment of ignition: twin boosters firing, plumes of ambition (and molten exhaust) sending your reading list to the moon. Each one is weighty, shiny, and unapologetically optimistic — like an artifact from an era when science class felt like destiny and Tang was a beverage for heroes.

Made for the dreamers, engineers, and desk-bound philosophers who still believe in liftoff, these pieces will hold your paperbacks, your technical manuals, or your stack of unread astronaut memoirs with equal gravitas. Use them to anchor your sci-fi section, your NASA archive, your coffee table stack, or your entire sense of identity. 

Are these bookends functional? Yes. Are they conversation starters? Also yes. So, whether you grew up watching Discovery broadcasts or just like shiny mid-century optimism in brass form, these are the bookends that say: "Yes, Houston — we have décor."
