A highly-coveted stereo copy of the hard rockers' second LP, originally released in 1971. Various members came and went from when they were originally called Black Cat Bones (and morphed into Leaf Hound), including future members of Free and Foghat. This was the band's last album before breaking up. The album was recorded in only a day and a half, for 600 pounds.
THE RED HANDFISH (THYMICHTHYS POLITUS) is a surpassingly rare reef fish that makes its way around the Tasman Sea not by swimming but by walking on its distinctively hand-like fins. It is considered among the rarest fish in the world, with only 20 to 40 individuals known in a single population. But last week a diver spotted one of the rare creatures off the southeast coast of Tasmania and alerted the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS).

A Marilyn Monroe Signed Black and White Rare Photograph, Circa 1953. An original print with a glossy finish, depicting what appears to be an outtake of a more famous publicity shot of the star wearing a black off-the-shoulder dress and a somewhat odd expression on her face (though she still looks beautiful), signed in blue fountain pen ink in the center "To Lou, / When you come back- / come around / Marilyn Monroe;" 'Lou' being Lou Benjamin, a young extra who was in one of the star's films...

Nicholas II, the last Russian Emperor, decided to make golden coins out of the nugget and present them to his relatives and friends during celebration of his birthday in 1908. The 25 ruble coins of 1908 are considered as very rare. One of them was sold in April 2011 for 1.9 million rubles. The price could be much higher if the coin was less damaged."
