Why would you want to wear a manhole cover?
Forget the T-shirts and shot glasses and ball caps. Vail, Colorado is promoting a new kind of souvenir: manhole cover jewelry. “The authentic Vail Manhole Cover Jewelry accurately mimics the look of the resort town’s famed manhole cover, which features the famous ‘V’ logo, founding date and elevation,” says promotional material. The product line includes 16 different pieces, at prices ranging from $20 U.S. for a Christmas tree ornament to $130 for a sterling silver charm bracelet.
All proceeds go to support a municipal art program.
