BEER BOTTLE SETS AUCTION RECORD

[diggummup]

A bottle of Lowenbrau beer that survived the fire and wreck of the Hindenburg zeppelin in May 1937 auctioned in England on November 14 for $16,000. It may be the most expensive beer bottle ever auctioned. The previous beer bottle record we're aware of is for a limited edition Carlsberg lager bottle. The Lowenbrau bottle, still full, has a scorched label with the brand's logo. The bottle was found by the local fire chief after the crash in Lakehurst, New Jersey. He buried six bottles and a pitcher at the site and came back later to recover his "treasure." He gave all but one of the bottles to friends. One bottle was donated to the Lowenbrau brewery collection in 1977. The others are missing.

If he bury them and then came back for them isn't that wrong. If I would do that I would be arrested.....Matt

I agree and I don't want to go off on a tangent here but i'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say- There are many things that you could do in 1937 that you can't do now and get away with. The more liberal this country becomes the less freedoms we actually have. Welcome to Amerika.
Sorry I couldn't help myself.
