Quest completed!

After seeing some incredible photos on TRF of the salvatini crystal paper weight I had to play along. Half the fun was the hunt for one at a good price!!!

Nice!
Relative to the price of a Rolex, this is the best way to get a crown for every achievement!

I was surprised how many are out there for sale in the $1000-1500 range. I was able to get this one for a good bit south of that! My kids liked it alot but they didnt know its was many hundreds of dollars. Its silly in a way but I fell in love and bought it less than "market" so I was happy.

I really want one as well but I can't imagine what I would use it for without a formal desk at work or home I need to hold off and just admire it from pics. Congrats!
