This is a solid metal souvenir replica of the Aon Center of Chicago. This is the tallest skyscraper to ever change its name (aka Standard Oil, aka Amoco). Overall height measures 6.1". The base measures 1.3" square. On the front, the base reads in raised lettering, "Aon Center". On the back, "Chicago". Left side, "1973" and right side, "346 meters".

This is one juggernaut of a building! Most people only get the street level view because there is no observation deck. Chicago's second tallest building, the Aon Center rises 80 stories above the city. The building is square in plan, clad in vertical piers of white Carrara marble. In 1990 the building's marble facade was replaced with Mt Airy granite.

Note: This replica is in the new standard scale
