A deal toy, or “tombstone” in the finance and investment banking world, is a customized Lucite desktop award or paperweight gift which is intended to mark and commemorate the closing of a business deal. Other common names for a deal toy include Lucite, dealtoys, deal gifts, tombstone or financial tombstone.

Deal toys are not only preserved for the financial world. Nowadays they are frequently used by many corporates and individuals to indicate an above average achievement, an announcement, or any recognition effort and are seen as a classic and beautiful reward for efforts made.

In advertising, a ‘tombstone’ refers to a particular type of print advertisement appearing in a newspaper. Tombstone ads are often used in the financial industry to commemorate a financial transaction… for example, a merger, acquisition, or issue of shares. Now, a general term for a “Lucite” award or custom-made embedment in a Lucite block, a deal toy, or an acrylic award.

The Lucite deal toy is designed to creatively display the details of the transaction being commemorated including: the names and/or logos of the firms for which the transaction is completed (the recipients), the general details of the transaction (type, size and date of the deal) as well as the names and or logos of the financial advisors and financiers of that transaction. Given the recipients of the deal gift are the clients of the advisors and financiers, the Lucite deal award also acts as a marketing tool for the presenter long after the transaction has passed.

The first Lucite deal toy was created in the early 70’s incorporating a document or “tombstone” embedded into Lucite. There are only three major manufacturers in the US.  We are the largest and oldest of the three – and by far the best!  Our original deal toys are hand-made-hand-cast at our factory direct plant!

As deal toys became more entrenched within investment banking culture, they also became a point of pride—and competition-with firms frequently seeking to outdo each other with creative and elaborate designs.
