TRICK OR TREATS

With Halloween approaching, M.S. Rau Antiques of New Orleans has put together a collection of odds and ends with a spooky side. They’re promoting Napoleon’s $34,500 bronze death mask as well as a $1.9 million bejeweled cross ring that was owned by both Pope Paul VI and daredevil Evel Knievel. Other items looking for a new home include an Iron “Skull Crusher” form the 16th century and a 150,000-year-old cave bear skeleton.
