Someone posted some incredibly good miniature reproductions of classic disks in the hobby Benchmark Hunter forum. It's a long thread, so scroll to the recent entries.

They used the same 3D printing company as Norm Larson has mentioned, and then had the results cast in bronze.

I have a mini benchmark keychain fob from the Hoover Dam. You can pick these things up in the gift shop of many national monuments and also online.

Yes, but that doesn't get you the collection of disk types he has.

The gift shop ones are made of some form of steel. Brass/bronze would be much nicer.
