source of green crystal paperweights

how did those green paperweights originally get released? were they for sale at one time by dealers? were they freebies from dealers?

Keep your eyes on the ForSale Forum here and other auction sites.
You will see them once in a while but "They ain't cheap!"

I've got one of the other paper weights... white with a Green "Rolex". Is that worth anything?

Good question... anything made or distributed with the Rolex name on it is sought after, I reckon that Rolex toilet paper would easily sell for $100 a roll.
