I’m not sure if Ed was kidding when he suggested adding Egg&Dart, though it
surely would look good, raising a prosaic object to a higher level.

My suggestion would be signing and dating it with incised Roman letters.  A
century from now, future Galoots will be researching your name!  And, they might
be your great grandchildren .

Maybe get really fancy and add “Ars , longa, vita brevis.”

Make it an heirloom.
