What would be your bike part paperweight?

If you could have any bike part to use specifically as a paperweight or to fiddle with while you're talking on your phone, what would it be? Something that's beautiful to the eye and brings a smile to your face to look at.

I might pick this ...

I use a cherry 7400 Dura Ace RD. It's been my paper weight for a couple of years.

you guys must have huge stacks of paper. I'd go with a dropout from your favorite builder...for instance

I just received a '70s Campy headset that is sparkly clean from a solvent bath - it's going to be sitting on my desk or bookshelf.

If I don't use the NOS Rolls w gold rails on a bike right away, it'll get the same treatment.

NOS Regina Oro 13-17.
Phil Wood bottom brackets are fun when new and shiny but they might roll off the desk.

Several years ago, on a manic Sunday, I built a bunch of these for my sons and my friends from my parts bin.
