bob - 333,629.25 1941 Dollars. Apply NPV and even I could almost afford it (if I had been saving up since 1941, which I haven't, dang it).

One of my most prized possessions is a resin replica cast off the originals. Its big and heavy and looks amazing, it looks like the movie prop. Sadly, its not gold with jewels crusted over it, and its not a movie prop worth millions.
But it is a thing that prompts dreams.

$4 Million dollars for something that you could pick up at a garage sale? Amazing.
