Helmet Paperweight Mounted on a Piece of Marble Paris France

Located in Los Angeles, CA

Acquired in Paris France, this is a wonderful paperweight. A Helmut mounted on a piece of marble - a compliment to any desk or work station. The helmet is metal and the sides move a bit, as they are supposed to. A great curiosity, wonderful for a housewarming or fathers day gift.
