OK, this might be hard to explain, but here goes . . . Many years ago I saw a small brass (?) "plaque" of the United States that you could attach to your bike.  It had a "hole" in each state where you could put a "jewel" in to show that you had ridden through that state.  I know that's not a real adequate explanation of what I'm looking for . . . But does anyone know what I'm talking about and if so, where I could find it online?  Thanks, Millsie

RV shops used to sell a small 48 state map that you could use stickers on instead of the fancy jewels. Might be worth swinging by your local RV sales shop and peeking in.
