Can anyone come up with a valid reason to save the pistons from before my motor was rebuilt?

They are pretty much shot, but I feel kind of guilty just throwing them away.

Perhaps they can be made into some sort of prize for the Celina convention?

They make great ashtrays or conversation pieces sitting on the table.

I like the reasons I've read so far as to why save these pistons. My idea when I saw them was that they look like great paperweights. I'm not sure how they look in person, though. Actually, I like the idea of giving them away as prizes best. They could be shinned up & engraved. Ina in the Boro

The prize thing seems like a good idea. I'll put them on the side, if anyone wants them let me know! I may try and take the Dremel to one to see if I can get it shined up.
