If you can't afford to participate in this auction try taking a Heignhen Bottle and hitting it with a hammer a few times...

The beautiful things from the Atocha truly boggle the mind. I have been to the Fisher museum many times, and it never fails to amaze me. No matter how many times you look at this stuff, it's still incredible.

Odd....but that link takes me to a video about a Fisher family auction supposedly on April 25, 2017. My memory and Guernsey's link says that that auction was nearly 2 years ago (August 5, 2015)

The auction that was held on April 25, 2017 was this one: https://www.guernseys.com/v2/gomar.html - the Marcial de Gomar collection.
