I walk by these CBOT statues almost every day since they are very close to where I work. The fnny thing is I don't know when they were added or if they were always there.

FYI: I was doing a little research on these statues...they were part of the original Board of Trade building...and were lost around 1930 when it was (I think) demolished and a new structure was built.
You'll want to do some more research to check the details, but I believe they were misplaced and sat in some suburb for decades... No idea of the chain of events, but someone found them and got them reinstalled (where they are now) in 2005, for the building's 75th anniversary.
