Got a spare $10,000 dollars sitting around? Love history? And want a piece of the Hindenburg disaster for your very own? Well, you’re actually too late!
A pitcher and a tray, which were hidden (actually buried, because guards wouldn’t allow anything to be removed from the crash site) and then dug up a few days after the catastrophe. They were privately held until 2009, when they were sold to an auction house.
Recently, they were sold for close to $10,000 each ($10,735 for the tray, $8,435 for the pitcher) at auction. So now someone has a bit of our shared catastrophic history.
