Title: Green Walther Petri centrepiece
Post by: oyemicanto 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

The black base I have just wired up and it looks great lit up!
