Here's an offer from someone I can vouch for -- this is reliable
and legitimate. Jordan is well-known to echoes email subscribers.
He has been arranging this with someone at the blimp company since
long before someone else offered little bits of the blimp for a much
higher price. I volunteered to forward this to the newsgroup since
that other offer appeared here and since Jordan has no posting access
right now. Please don't reply to me, I'm just relaying his message.

> The Pink Floyd Division Bell Airship BlimpBits are now available to
> Echoes subscribers (and those reading Echoes in its appearance
> throughout the Internet)!
>
>
> For those that saw the colourful airship that was commissioned for Pink
> Floyd as it cruised its way through the skies of North America and for
> those with dreams of seeing that majestic and speedy (record-setter)
> ship who were frustrated by its timely demise (days after its mission
> was completed), arrangements have been made to cut the envelope-skin
> into little pieces to be preserved as commemorative keepsakes in the
> hands of true fans of the band and lofty air travel in general.
>
> Two types of BlimpBits will be offered here (with a slightly different
> version going out to the public in general through collectible record
> stores etc).
>
> BlimpBit Laminates are approximately 2 3/4" x 4" and they include a
> 1x1.5" cut of the envelope plastic-sealed with the Pink Floyd stylized
> signature-logo, name of the airship, short history, additional Floyd
> graphics, the Echoes Internet address, and a gold (coloured) seal of
> authenticity from the manufacturer/owner of the now-destroyed airship.
> The heat-sealed lamination should protect the remnant and graphics for
> decades (based on our experience with stage and tour passes, which are
> similar to this item and military i.d. badges). The BlimpBit Laminate
> is printed on both sides and will make a very rare and unique
> collectible to own, give, or trade!
>
> BlimpBit Photo Certificates are comprised of a somewhat larger fragment
> of the airship envelope (to frustrate the guy selling smaller pieces for
> more than three times our price) hich will be partially mounted to a
> background card that will be suitable for framing (so you can lift the
> fabric off the card for tactile fondling without removing it
> completely), a 5x7" colour photo of The Division Bell Airship (taken as
> it floated in inflated glory), similar documentary-historical text, Pink
> Floyd graphics, and the gold (coloured) seal of authenticity provided by
> the manufacturer/owner.
>
> Both versions are very limited editions (there's a finite amount of
> fabric suitable for these items), so act fast to assure satisfaction!
> If we run out of fabric and cannot fill your order we will refund any
> payment for items we can no longer supply. We reserve the right to
> partially fill an order and rebate the difference pro-rated to allow as
> many individuals to order, but we will do our best to fill requests for
> multiple pieces (we know you have friends that might be interested) and
> for the time being, we will not impose a limit on the number of
> BlimpBits that can be purchased.
