But silver spray painted brass is like a lead uranium compound. You drop it and it goes right to the center of the earth; maybe with your big toe. I tried buying one once but couldn't drag it out of the store. They need to sell them with wheels. Round ones. But old pre 60's little chrome and nickel Leitz glass rocks.
