Once the Sixth City falls, what do you think Fifth City relics will be?
I can't think of anything obvious.

I am semi-seriously placing my bets on 'calling cards' of a particular sort.
That's the only way I shall know true immortality, after all, through my stacks of scandalous calling cards.

Saevitia's profile and appearance! [Gone NORTH]
Now playing Esméralda, Saevitia's former helmswoman and moralistic Campaigner; she looks like this.
I'm usually up for RP. Social actions are generally accepted; those with in-character RP invitations are most likely to be reciprocated.

Oh, definitely; broken crockery can be extremely durable. As is bronze; if left alone, bronze plaques are likely to outlast the buildings on which they are fixed, including any rusting street signs. (Of course, we are talking about forbidden street signs, which in most cases will be hidden somewhere—buried in the ground, even—so who knows how long those might endure.) Gold coins* should also last a long time, especially considering that we still have scores of First City coins doing the rounds...
* Regrettably, most of Queen Victoria's sovereigns didn't feature St George on the reverse, but older ones did and would still be in circulation.
EDIT: I was wrong about the First City Coins. I had forgotten what the Numismatrix had told me.

The Duke of Waltham welcomes requests for assistance from those troubled by menaces, and His Grace's townhouse is always open to visitors who will not attempt to steal the silverware or extract support for yet another ill-advised scheme concerning photographers.

You've forgotten the lawless lands of Liberation, in which the most durable relics are the jam-smeared teeth of ventriloquist dummies. The Fash-men send all bronze to the zee-floor in one of their Gloomings.
Incidentally, back in actual lore, the First City predates metal coinage. Those cedars we pass around have a strange link to the city, but aren't what they seem. I did read something today that suggested Rostygold may be an earlier city's coinage, though; can anyone confirm that?

Actually, ceramic dogs were very popular in Victorian England. Jerome K. Jerome speculated in Three Men in a Boat that it would be kitschy things like these that would be the artifacts of their civilization, dug up in 200 year's time. Oddly, though, none are in Fallen London that I know of.
