CME trading floor opening
A packet of assorted stuff from the opening of the 444 W. Jackson trading floor of the CME. The guy I got it from said noone else kept theirs so I've probably got one of the only copies remaining. Remember that if you click on any of the photos, they enlarge for better detail.
