I predict CityDesk is going to love those...
Speaking of commemorative items, you reminded me of a story my Dad told: one time they were doing a new oil pan and to test the draw of the steel they made a bunch of 1/4 scale versions, probably 100 or so.
He said for the longest period after that any time someone retired they got one of those little oil pans, chromed of course, mounted to a nice plaque as a "going away" present.
