I opened the box and, nestled amid the straw, was a Peruvian-style drawstring bag, inside of which was a heavy golden metal plaque, cast into the likeness of a stylized face. I picked it up to examine it, and it was *cold*, as though it had rested for unknowable aeons in the lifeless space between the distant stars.

Reeling from the implications I hurriedly replaced the plaque in its bag and returned it to the straw-lined box from which I had foolishly drawn it this cursed morning.

Later, as I sat shivering in my favourite chair with a cup of hot tea and attempted to steady my shattered nerves, it occurred to me that the parcel had been delivered early in the morning and had sat outside in the cold for an hour before my wife had retrieved it.

I have bought a number of items from HPLHS, and have never been remotely displeased. Each and every item, ranging from netsukes, newspapers, prop collections for Chaosium games, the Golden Mirror, the Eye of Light and Darkness, the Innsmouth Combo -- the quality of every single item I've bought has exceeded the descriptions and photos. I simply do not have the words to convey how these pieces fulfill their purpose, and more. My only real regret is that I do not have the kind of disposable income to buy the Angell Box, and my only fear is that someday my wife may discover how much I have spent on what are, ultimately, toys.

But they are glorious toys! If you are on the fence on any item HPLHS sells, rest assured that what you receive is worth every penny of what they charge, and more. Never fret that it won't live up to the description or the photos; it will surpass your expectations. You will be delighted. I have given most of the artifacts that I have bought to my players, and they are in complete awe of each and every one.

This prop is nice and heavy with an ultra reflective finish. Like an ancient golden relic uncovered in Peru. Nice job!

So hefty my players were hesitant to open the box. Once they got it out they refused to touch it with their bare hands, handling it, very carefully, with a handkerchief. When one player flipped it over and saw her reflection I made her make a POW roll, which she blew—and so they hastily packed it back up.

PERFECT

When I got my GPS last year, my only regret was not having 2 specific props out of the Deluxe Edition. Imagine my excitement when, on Thanksgiving, I get and email from the HPLHS saying that those two props, the golden Mirror and Eye of Light and Darkness were being put up for individual sale!! I had barely finished dinner when I placed my order..

Today, I got a package in the mail. Inside were 2 boxes.. both with official looking labels and well packed. The Mirror comes in a nice drawstring bag and is a lively weighty piece. It is LEGIT! I almost don't want my players to touch it because I don't want to mess up the mirror finish.. I knew, from my previous purchase, that HPLHS quality is incredible.. and this does not disappoint. https://i.imgur.com/hODppQe.jpeg.
