£5,000 for a Single Beer? Oh, the Humanity!

Did you know that a six pack of beer survived the crash of the Hindenburg? For a long time hardly anyone did. When fire fighter Leroy Smith found the six bottles of Lowenbrau beer and a silver pitch among the wreckage he hid them. Later he gave five of the bottles to colleagues.

Most of the beer has been lost to history. But Leroy's bottle survives along with the pitcher. Both are being auctioned with the beer expected to fetch £5k and the pitcher £12k.
