I had a couple of the salvaged Bryant platters as mementos back in the day. I thought about making a coffee table out of one, but the hole in the middle was a stopper for me. Perhaps I should have stuck a flowerpot in it or something... As I recall the heads on the Bryant weighed in at about 8 lbs apiece. --Chuck
