- Artwork by Edsel Ford, 1898-1903 - Edsel Ford created this threadwork drawing when he was a schoolboy. Like many doting parents, Henry and Clara Ford saved their only child's artwork. Clara nurtured Edsel's love of art and Henry encouraged his interest in automobiles. As Edsel grew, his creative and artistic sensibilities matured and he developed a talent for automotive design.

- Toy Top, 1860-1880 - Tin-plated iron, commonly called "tin," was the dominant material for utilitarian items in 19th-century America. It was lightweight, inexpensive, easy to clean, non-toxic, and durable. Tinware also resisted corrosion and had a pleasing silvery appearance that could be enhanced through decoration. Local tinsmiths produced an almost endless range of goods, including kitchen tools, lighting devices, and even toys.
