I'd go for one. How heavy are they?

Is there a certificate of authenticity?

close to the weight of a can of soda for one rivet

If you can provide credible documentation of their provenance, I think they'd sell very well and command a nice price.

Now I'd like someone in the Detroit area tosend me a brick from the Packard factory building on Grand Ave. Seriously.

Marc,

Always got to take it a step further don't you.

About the rivets, they'd probably sell but I myself would donate them to the GGNPS (Golden Gate National Park Service) for the exhibit in the new Presidio Museum. Imagine, your name on it. Or even better yet..lol

Just found something you might find interesting:

They're already for sale.

And...I believe they're all present and accounted for:
