- A set of two bookends.(a) is the viewer-left bookend in the set, with an upright cross-section of a flat-bottom rail (on the viewer-right) with a rail spike resting diagonally against it’s viewer-left side at a 45 degree angle. The cross-section of the flat-bottom rail is the surface that has contact with the book that it is holding upright.(b) is the viewer-right bookend in the set, with an upright cross-section of a flat-bottom rail (on the viewer-left) with a rail spike resting diagonally against it’s viewer-right side at a 45 degree angle. The cross-section of the flat-bottom rail is the surface that has contact with the book that it is holding upright.On both bookends, the rail spike and cross-section of a flat-bottom rail sit atop a triangular, varnished wood base. All of the top edges of the wood base have been rounded (except for the edge that has contact with the book it is holding upright). The bottom of the bases are covered with green felt.There is a plaque on the base of both bookends (located between the rail spike and the cross-section of a flat-bottom rail) which is orientated on a diagonal that is parallel with the angle of the triangular base.The plaque on (a) reads: “Nicholas Morant” (bolded); “Photographer Publicity Department Entered Service March 1, 1937”” in black ink. On the viewer-left side of this text there is a CPR crest that reads: “CANADIAN PACIFIC” at the top; then “RAILWAY LINES”; and “WORLD’S GREATEST TRAVEL SYSTEM” at the bottom - enclosed in a small circle. The plaque on (b) reads: “Canadian Pacific”; “Nicholas Morant” (bolded); “Special Photographer Public Relations and Advertising Pensioned June 1, 1981” in black ink.

- Description
- Dull grey metal flood/spotlight used in studio settings for film-making or photography. The main body of the light is shaped like a small barrel - one end has a carved crystal bordered in thick cord and the other has a door that opens by pushing a small button in order to access the light bulb inside. The centre of the door features the Bardwell & McAlister Inc. logo. The barrel also has housing attached to the top and bottom - one contains a lever that, when pushed from side to side, moves the light bulb inside closer to or further from the crystal. Attached to the front on either side of the crystal are brackets where a filter can be fit; a Y-shaped support can be rotated 180 degrees and is adjusted by a handle on one side; an on/off switch sits in a raised metal bracket on one side, and near the switch the power cord feeds out of the barrel - the cord is wrapped in grey fabric and is coiled up and attached to the support with a short length of rope. Attached to the power cord is an orange fabric bag with a wire drawstring that contains a silver metal cylinder that could possibly be an attachment for the support.
