It's a lot more than a thing. Of course the demand for beer tap handle shifters on hot rods have greatly demised I would think a lot of collectors are out there.
Peak, have you been pricing them from somewhere or are you just feeling your way to a price for Craigslist? I'm interested in how people do that kind of thing. (See you in a couple of weeks.)
I've got a couple dozen various tap handles from way back when. Yes, people collect them. If you're ABC Brewery, you come up with a unique art piece in conjunction with your design staff and manufacturer(s) so the customers at the bar recognize your brand. ABC pays for the manufacture of the handles and bars / pubs don't pay a cent. Joe bar - owner winds up with drawers full of handles as the rotation through various kegs progresses.
One place I brewed at had really nice Ceramic handles crafted in BC, which cost us about 10-12 bucks each. Who knows where they all went. From the Beer-pour technician's perspective, less weight = better handle. The heavy and large handles add up to more wear & tear on the mechanical parts of the draft system... plus spillage, overfill, general slop. That bartender who has to navigate your overweight tap handle and *gasp* clean up the spillage will resent your brand, even if it's a perfectly good Beer.
So if you are ABC Brewing, you want a nice dainty tap handle which still glows in its unique - ness.
Oh, and I'll bid eleven + shipping for "Sless Stout"

I remember Riggerdude saying
I remember Riggerdude saying he got booted from somewhere in NYC, because they said he took tap handles the night before.
He also said it wasn't him.
Looks like it's most definitely a thing. People even sell display racks & such on ebay.
A quick browse says you could make some $.
The 2 you posted are wicked cool!
I'd put em on my wall :)
