I have some cool "deal toys" a/k/a "tombstones" laying around the office. It is tradition that when you close a deal you get some sort of souvenir called a "deal toy" or "tombstone." The production of these is a huge business although it is dying out from what it once was.

I know I have a giant model airplane from a fleet of planes that we financed and also a baseball bat made from trees harvested from a tract of forestland that we financed. No expense is spared and there is a competition to come up with the most creative tombstone imaginable.

A finance guys career can be measured by his tombstones. If you go to the office of someone at a PE firm or a large bank they will have hundreds of these in a case. At my old firm we had an entire room dedicated to these. I do not keep them anymore unless they are super cool.

Here are some examples:

Love the office. My Lego hobby dates back to the ‘80’s, where I’ve collected most expert builder/technic sets all the way up to current. I’ll see if I can get a short clip from my closet shelves, where I have a lot of the newer ones stored. Weirdly, it’s one hobby where the items never really lose value.

I had 8-10 foxbody mustang GMP diecasts I shouldn't have sold. Now I'm thinking about buying some others to put in the office.

I do have that blue LEGO fastback mustang I need to put together.

Otherwise I have a fridge full of beer.

Don't try buying those GMP Fox Bodies back now Brady. They are going for a small fortune......

That's awesome Chad! Love that drum set. It's funny that a lot of car guys are also musicians. Really liking that C-10. Do you have a build thread some where????

Sorry I missed this one Glenn. No build thread on here yet. Need to get back on it but work has been nuts lately, which is a good thing…I’ll start one someday.

Had some down time today, finally. Threw some stuff in this old cabinet I found and thought was cool for display purposes. I'll rearrange it all at some point.
