Harold Nathan Braunhut (March 31, 1926 – November 28, 2003), also known as Harold von Braunhut, was an American mail-order marketer and inventor, most famous as the creator and seller of both the Amazing Sea-Monkeys and the X-Ray Specs. His grandfather Tobias Cohn was head of the T.Cohn Toy Company until the early 1940s. ==Personal life== Braunhut was born in Memphis, Tennessee on March 31, 1926. He grew up in New York City and resided there until the 1980s, when he moved to Maryland. According to a ''Washington Post'' report, he was raised "as Harold Nathan Braunhut, a Jew" - notable in light of his later association with white supremacist groups. He added "von" to his name some time in the 1950s for a more Germanic sound. His first marriage was to Charlotte Braunhut. His second marriage was to actress Yolanda Signorelli, who took an active role in marketing Sea-Monkeys. He had a son, Jonathan, and a daughter, Jeanette LaMothe. Harold von Braunhut died on November 28, 2003 at his home in Indian Head, Maryland, following an accidental fall. Braunhut's work was featured on the April 22, 2007 "Not My Job" segment of the NPR radio quiz show ''Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me''.〔http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9738349〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harold von Braunhut」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
