The Ogilvy one isn't plastic though ;-) They did it right and it looks stunning... It's a tad lower then the original one sat, but only I would know that LOL

It might be plastic. They do that now with building medallions. They are pretty well impervious to weathering. They are lighter to lift into place and do less damage if they fall off. You still would not want to get hit by a falling piece of plastic that large.

An example, when the old medallion at the front of Tabaret Hall at uOttawa was badly corroded: it was replaced by a plastic one. That was a few years ago.You can not tell it is plastic unless one is told. I found out by taking a guided tour of the building a couple of years ago.
