         In the past few years a couple of Soviet storage
tanks from orbiting space units have fallen to earth,
exhibiting outstanding reentry markings and mini-craters
from small meteoroids colliding with it in space. Rob Elliott
published photos of his excellent example in a nice article in
METEORITE MAGAZINE not too long ago as an exceptional
addition to his personal world class collection.
         We offered one of these at the Denver Auction two years
ago. I have now been offered the opportunity to offer yet another
of these phenomenal objects for sale. This one is by far the most
visually spectacular of those I have seen so to date.
