I don't have a Shark Fin or a data cell strip but I have 1k of REAL core memory 
from something back before 360 days. I also have an IBM 01 mechanical Card 
Punch (that punches round holes) and an IBM 02 mechanical Punch Verifier. And a 
1401 Autocoder manual.

A few people might even still have a long, wide strip from a 2321 data cell.

We got one with our 2105.  The 2105's long gone, but the guy who lead the 
project to buy it still had the fin.  He left the company recently and took the 
fin with him.  It had been #1 on my list of things to loot, but I guess I won't 
get the chance.  I've met several folks who have them, and they all say they'd 
never let it go. 

Still hoping I'll land one someday!

Your google broken? It was a plastic prop distributed with the DASD boxes. Like 
the 
penguins with the ICEbergs. EMC claims a large collection of them after swap 
outs for their boxes.
