I want to see your favorite non model item you have!

This thread is spurred from me getting this full metal B1 Bomber lighter from my girlfriend’s dad as a gift a few years ago. This thing is so cool and I use it nearly daily. The wings do pivot in and out, and the wheels (while not accurate lol) do spin too.




What do you guys have?

This is a fantastic item. My dad use to work at Delta, and I have so many cool pictures - yet one of my dad’s colleagues was Steve Dixon, the past head of the FAA, so I have collector coins from his inauguration which I think is even cooler. But in 2016, I got these two pictures, and while they’re not on display now, I think they’re very cool! Signed by all the 2016 Blue Angels!

This is mine:



It's a souvenir from the delivery ceremony of the first MD-11 of Varig, back in November 1991. I got it from my uncle as a gift, and the funny thing is that he never worked in aviation and I don't really know where he got it! lol

Dude that’s an awesome item. Is it the only one? one of a few?

I have something similar. I think my parents got this for me at an airshow back when I was a kid, probably after I saw the performance? It’s signed by the whole team from (I believe?) 2006ish time? I’d have to check the names to confirm.

I have no idea either. I assume these were given as a gift to the guests during the delivery ceremony of the MD-11, in McDonnell Douglas factory in Long Beach. There's a video of the ceremony on Youtube. However, this souvenir doesn't appear on the video, and I haven't seen another copy of it...
