A chalk money on a surfboard, c.1960's early air brush paint marks and a good cast made to turn out a hundered, sold by the Coast maybe, cost around 4.00 in the early 1960s, need to feel the object, great for birthdays...A/T..Chalk Art collector once.

A lot. I already traded a camel statuette for him.

I tend to follow Todd Snider's lead on such matters:

"...I can't be bought. Then again, on the other hand, how much have you got?"

Since everybody loves me and my monkey, I'll share more backstory. Tasha, one of our ad reps, used to work in the music industry (has lots of great band stories). This particular monkey, which she chipped in to our White Elephant was record label swag for the band Sprung Monkey.

Here's a medley of their greatest hit:

The only thing cooler than a Sprung Monkey is a Spongmonkey:

Just the monkey, sir..and my offer still stands. If your 401k goes to hell in a handbasket let me know..I'll gladly take over the payments on said monkey.
