Diorama Featuring Henry Ford and Ford Automobile, circa 1935
Add to SetSummary
Acknowledging Henry Ford's innovative spirit, individuals employing their own original and imaginative efforts bestowed hundreds of handmade gifts upon him. Ford Bryant, in his book Henry's Attic, stated that many of these Ford-in-a-Bottles were sent to his estate, Fair Lane, over the years. One of the more poignant examples noted the address of the sender as "Poorhouse, Parkersburg, West Virginia."
