    If that fooled anyone I'd be really surprised.

    Made of lead... hmm... make a hole in it and attach to a fishing line so it can be of positive use.

    Beat me to it!

    Reminds me of the saying "not worth a lead nickel".

    Pretty amateurish effort there - looks like a shop project not a serious effort at making something passable.

    Unfortunately, I would not after seeing some stuff selling on eBay.
