Default So what do I do with my collection of badges?!?!

I've been toying with what to do with my extensive collection of growlers I've been acquiring. My last idea was to replace all of my xk8 wheel centers and front badge with the 24k gold XJS celebration growlers. Once I had my car painted, they didnt work! (Although I'm still on the fence!)
I happen to also be a lamp designer for a retail company and have some 3" black Italian marble based so I attached one to a base and voila, a stunning accessory/ paperweight!
I think I may actually put them on ebay! Unless someone says I should use the growlers on my car!!

They'd probably work on ebay if priced right. Or maybe even the marketplace section here.

Have had this on my desk for years. Last piece of an '83 XJ that forgot to stop. Luckily that Toyota was there to remind me.

Desk accessories are a good idea and there certainly is a market.

These are really beautiful and took a while to collect enough for my car and the golds didnt match so I sent them to my jewelry plater and had them done in 24k gold.

Drill a hole and use it as a key ring (only joking, its very nice so dont you dare do that)

Use it as a coffee cup coaster. Use it as a wine decanter label.

I had the twisted connecting rod from my XKE as an "object d'art" for years....not sure where it is now. Actually one of those badges may be kinda cool.......pm me with a price although I'll probably say no cause no work, no pay.
