Very cool, I do like appropriately old-looking objects. The shiny look just isn't for me...

Delightful! 

And of course it does things:  For example, it would appear to serve as a remarkably efficient device for weighting down paper. 

No doubt it has a title something along the lines of:

"Milo’s Marvelous Mechanical Automaton for Multiple Functional Applications in Paper-Restraint."

Thats one Fantastic name, I was thinking about donating it to my School Silent Auction. I need to name it though not the Title, just what to call it for short

I think it looks absolutely delightful. 

I'm also thinking of making one of these:

Perhaps as a shell only, with a pair of LEDs for eyes?

could you maybe drain it? i mean, going with the orangey light and rotating disco ball, i think it would make a really cool night-light or random decorational desk lamp.

btw i LOVE it!!
