I have worked for several organizations that would give out trinkets for working hard on a project.

It's amaizing to watch grown adults work hundreds of hours of unpaid overtime for a $2 trinket or coffee cup.

I call them "trinkets for the natives."

I have a large Kodak wall clock. I had to remove the starter from the circular florescent lamp inside -- way too bright! But I walked into my office one day and the light was on (without the starter)! It seems that the campus electrician did some work in my office and accidently wired the whole place to 220V! So one does not need a starter to start florescents if you just double the power going into it!

I have a few odds and ends that I have on a shelf...a small bottle of Kodak Lubrication Oil, a box of color sheet film (3.25x4.25) and that sort of thing.

Here's that bag I mentioned earlier in the thread. The t-shirt has the same logo, I believe.

Anybody want either of them?

The customer service front desk (aka the "Inquiry") that my Dad managed at the North Vancouver, BC Kodak lab had places where large, heavy reinforced plastic bags would hang. When customers brought film in for processing, the film would be sorted as to type (Ektachrome, Kodachrome, movie film, slides, colour print film) and go into the appropriate bag. Those bags would then be regularly transported back to the appropriate parts of the lab.

Those bags were replaced from time to time. Each had big Kodak logos on them, and were appropriately yellow in colour.

As a result, at home we had one for storing certain tools, for storing shoe cleaning materials, for storing fishing gear ... (you get the idea).

Sadly the last ones were discarded as part of my parents' last move.
