Oh that looks nice. I'll monitor this auction but I have a feeling it will go sky high.

That can be worked around. Anything will sit still on 3 points.

I would find 3 half-round rubber feet (like spheres sliced in half) and make those be the contact points.

Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

Silver label industrial is very sweet. The silver label types like a dream, best of the Model M's in my opinion.
