Not to be outdone by Jeopardy!'s Hall of Fame behind the audience bleachers, Wheel has one too...and nearby the stage door, there's this display:
The white object below the "W" trilon is a signed football by NFL week players. I took this photo on my phone when I visited the studio on my birthday five months ago.

The "W" in the trilon is backwards...

Okay, clockwise starting at the wedge...
* Last Jackpot wedge before taking on the housing of the Big Money Wedge
* Complete trilon with backwards W slide (someone should really point this out and offer to fix it)
* Free Spin (either the July 1989 redesign or the HD holographic-"SPIN" one)
* Sheldon (the ceramic Dalmatian) with $154 pricetag
* Jackpot semicircle that I'm guessing is from when it had chase lights on the wedge

You're right about the semicircle, Wario. You can see where the lights were (I don't remember if they're still there, but I doubt it).
Also, I don't think that Jackpot wedge was ever used. But it's very sparkly in person!

I remember seeing this case at the studio when I was there. The "CAST AND CREW ONLY" door was right next to it. I'm trying to figure out what is below the trilon. I wish I had taken some pics, but I had my phone off at the time. There are two other display cases nearby, IIRC. One contains various Wheel memorabilia, including board games, video games (specifically, the 1991 "talking" version for NES), and shirts. The other is devoted entirely to you-know-who, with an evening gown, shoes, jewelry, and some crochet pieces. Also, there are some photos, a TV screen playing various moments from the show's history, and a cardboard cutout of Pat and Vanna, so you can "get your picture with them."

Directly below the trilon? That would be a football, signed by some of the NFL players who took part in celebrity Wheel in the past.

Then it's the "Featuring Vanna White" edition, the companion to Talking Super Jeopardy!.

^ That's what I was referring to, thank you. Granted, the only word spoken was "Congratulations!" by Vanna.
