		<description><![CDATA[Cheap miniature metal buildings are a classic souvenir category. At one time they were made with actual metal — probably pewter — and often handily doubled  as banks or salt and pepper shakers. Today they are most likely cast from polyresin with a faux-bronze finish. But they still generally sell in a reasonable $5-10 price [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If a tourist attraction succeeds, thrives, and endures long enough, it accumulates a storeroom full of old brochures and souvenirs. While many owners toss yesteryear&#8217;s marketing into the trash and merchandise into the 25 cent bins, some hold onto their creations. They open a &#8220;museum&#8221; about the attraction&#8217;s past, to put tourists in the proper [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to Abe Lincoln, tourist attractions haven&#8217;t been shy in finding ways to cash in and merchandise. We&#8217;ve seen all manner of misshapen statuary of our 16th President, commemorative plates, paperweights, and trashy keepsakes. Unlike Elvis Presley, there is no surviving estate with a lawyer army to crush off-brand souvenirs. But Lincoln is [...]]]></description>

Snoozing Senor salt and pepper shakers. The snoozing senor is &#8220;commonly found in tourist souvenirs,&#8221; according to a press release posted on artdaily.org. It&#8217;s not all that common, but it is [...]]]></description>

The Arlington Heights Daily Herald reported that Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, a democrat, flew home on the climactic day of the Democratic National Convention. And then he immediately cut hundreds of state jobs and closed nearly two dozen historic sites and parks &#8212; including the Lincoln Log Cabin [...]]]></description>

But an article in The National Law Journal seems to suggest that the now-closed Christus Gardens may have been at least partly pushed into the afterlife by a souvenir in its gift shop. The collectible in question was a miniature plastic version of what [...]]]></description>

Turning on her captors, she killed and scalped a dozen Abenaki Indians with a tomahawk in 1697, and two statues were erected to commemorate her hacking spree: one in her home town of Haverhill, Massachusetts, and the other at the massacre site in [...]]]></description>

It also has a wall of replica guns and paint ball weapons for sale, but these each cost in the multi-hundred-dollar [...]]]></description>
