Green Walther Petri centrepiece
« on: August 24, 2012, 07:18:57 AM »
Good morning everyone
Purchased this lovely uranium Walther Petri centrepiece yesterday.
I was very surprised how heavy and thick this piece is.They don't come up very often(though I have sen a pink one) and wondered if only a few were made or perhaps may have succumbed to damage.
The black Walther base that it sits in I have noticed has a piece cut away from base to allow flex so maybe these were used to light up figures?
Any comments welcomed.
Thanks in advance Nige

Here is what it looks like with the lit up base.
