LOT 7000 WILL BE SOLD LIVE AT 6PM

Neil Armstrong’s 18K gold ‘Tribute to Astronauts’ Omega Speedmaster Pro— a precious timepiece presented to mankind’s first moonwalker in 1969 LOT 7000 Neil Armstrong’s Omega Speedmaster Professional 18K Gold 1969 Apollo 11 Commemorative Watch Starting Bid $50,000 Neil Armstrong’s personally-owned and -worn 18K solid yellow gold Omega Speedmaster Professional chronograph wristwatch (Ref. BA 145.022), presented to him at a special gala dinner on November 25, 1969, at the Hotel Warwick in Houston. Omega initially created 26 of these gold commemorative watches—known as the ‘Tribute to Astronauts’ watch—to present to NASA astronauts alive and deceased, with the caseback of each watch specially engraved with a quote, the name and missions of the astronaut, and a unique number relative to when the astronaut flew into space. Issued as “No. 17,” this watch’s caseback is engraved, “Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, Gemini 8 - Apollo 11.” The special central quote reads: “To mark man’s conquest of space with time, through time, on time.”

The first gold Speedmaster that Omega created, the watch features an 18K gold case with the same design cues and dimensions as the regular steel Speedmaster Professional. The gold bezel has a burgundy red aluminum inlay, with the famous ‘dot over ninety,’ and a special solid gold dial, indicated by the “OM” next to “Swiss Made,” which means ‘Or Massif’ or ‘solid gold.’ The hour markers are made of onyx, have two facets each, and are set in gold frames. The hands are black with gold centers and give wonderful contrast to the solid gold dial. The gold bracelet (1116/575) features hollow links and a small 14mm gold clasp with striping decoration. Inside the 18K gold 42mm case ticks the Lemania-based copper-colored chronograph caliber 861 with a steel brake; this caliber 861 has a ticking speed of 21,600vph and uses 17 jewels.

In very good cosmetic condition, with scuffs to the bezel and scratches to the caseback; the watch does not appear to have ever been polished or modified in any way. Notably, there exist multiple photos of Armstrong during his tenure as a professor at the University of Cincinnati wearing his gold Speedmaster as he folds a paper airplane.

Accompanied by an ‘Extract from the Archives’ certificate from Omega, with remarks citing it as a “Special numbered edition to celebrate the ‘Apollo XI’ moon landing.”

After the moon-flown Omega Speedmaster Pros—property of the United States government—these Apollo XI commemorative 18K gold chronographs stand at the forefront of space watch lore. Issued in an extremely limited number to commemorate the Apollo 11 landing, the first twenty-eight watches produced were reserved for President Richard Nixon (#1) and Vice President Spiro T. Agnew (#2), followed by the 26 astronauts who paved the way for the moon landings in the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. These early watches all feature the special central engraving, “To mark man’s conquest of space with time, through time, on time.” The publicly available version of the watch (numbers 33–1000) was issued with a caseback commemorating Apollo 11 and the Speedmaster’s status as ‘the first watch worn on the moon.’ Omega returned to the special engraving for the astronaut watches later issued to the crews of Apollo 14–17.

The elusive gold astronaut chronograph also takes a place as the most expensive Speedmaster Pro ever sold: in October 2022, RR Auction sold Wally Schirra’s example of the Apollo 11 commemorative 18K gold Omega Speedmaster Professional chronograph watch (Ref. BA 145.022) for nearly $2 million. Neil Armstrong’s gold Speedmaster, in particular, carries special significance as the one presented to mankind’s first moonwalker, and the commander of the mission that inspired Omega’s creation of the ‘Tribute to Astronauts’ watch.

Bidding details: this watch will be sold LIVE at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge, MA, at 6 PM ET on April 17, 2025; at that time, absentee bidding will close, and the auction will continue live in-person, via telephone, and on the Invaluable live bidding platform. To schedule a live auction phone call, please contact RR Auction at (603) 732-4280.

AVIATION The Wright Brothers weigh in on the ‘Evolution of the Hydraeroplane,’ citing the innovations of Charles de Lambert, Ernest Archdeacon, and Louis Bleriot 7001. Orville Wright Typed Letter Signed, Correcting the Record on the ‘Evolution of the Hydraeroplane’.

TLS signed by Orville Wright, “Wright Brothers, O.W.,” three pages, 8.5 x 11, Wright Brothers letterhead, March 15, 1912.

Lengthy letter to Mr. Henry Woodhouse, publisher of the Aero Club of America Bulletin, in part: “Your letter of March 11th, containing an article on the ‘Evolution of the Hydraeroplane,’ is received. It seems to us that you do not sufficiently discriminate between mere pontoons and hydroplanes. There is about the same difference in principle between a pontoon and a hydroplane, as there is between an airship and a flying machine.

With the mere pontoon it is impossible to secure high speeds, except by the expenditure of enormous power; and then the speed is quite limited, because the force required to displace water, increases as the square of the speed. The principle of the hydroplane is to skim on the surface, so that there is practically no displacement of the water. The laws of resistance governing the two are entirely different.

Without the mention of Comte de Lambert, the article is very much like the play of Hamlet without Hamlet. Although suggestion of the hydroplane idea had been made years ago, and although Froudehad made some experiments without result, as far back as 1872, Comte de Lambert was the real inventor of the hydroplane. He was the first to produce a successful one, and all modern hydroplanes are based upon his work.

In 1897 Comte de Lambert experimented with a catamaran formed of two narrow floats, to which were attached four transverse planes, whose inclinations could be varied two to three degrees. At a speed of 10 miles an hour, the floats were lifted entirely out of the water and the machine glided over the surface of the water on the four hydroplanes. Comte de Lambert continued these experiments during the following years up to 1907, and he succeeded in increasing the speed to 34 miles an hour.

In 1905-1906, Ernest Archdeacon with the assistance of Gabriel Voisin and Louis Bleriot, experimented on the river Seine with gliding machines of the Chanute-Wright type, equipped with pontoons, which were towed by fast motor boats. This was before the French attempted to equip the aeroplanes themselves with motors. These floats, however, if we remember correctly, were none of them equipped with hydroplanes.

Kress experimented with flying machines, provided with pontoons, but they were not equipped with hydroplanes. What is known at the present day as hydroaeroplane, is a flying machine, equipped with a combination of floats and hydroplanes; the floats to sustain the machine when standing still on the water, and the planes to lift it to the surface so that it can acquire sufficient speed for launching it in flight.

The hydroplane with which we experimented on the Miami river in 1907, consisted of two floats…The propellors and transmissions were those used in the 1905 flyer.

In regard to Mouillard. We think it is a mistake to use illustrations or descriptions, which have been recently written, instead of drawings and descriptions used by Mouillard himself. The former are usually prepared for a purpose, and inject into the drawings and descriptions the knowledge derived from the Wright Patent, and seem to show things which Mouillard himself never had in his mind at all…He had no idea whatever of controlling lateral balance by adjusting the right and left wings at different angles of incidence. He merely created a ‘V’ shaped resistance…Mouillard never had the idea which constitutes the basis of the Wright invention: to-wit, of warping the wings to control lateral balance.” In very good to fine condition, with paper loss to the upper left corner of the last page, affecting several words of text.

Wright,” two pages, 8.5 x 11, Wright Brothers letterhead, March 6, 1912. Lengthy letter to Mr. Henry Woodhouse, publisher of the Aero Club of America Bulletin, in part: “Your letters of recent date in regard to an article on Mouillard, and our early hydroplane experiments, have been received. I have asked Wilbur to prepare the Mouillard article, as he has lately been making a careful examination of Mouillard’s work in connection with our patent litigation.

I am sending you a copy of a news item of March 21, 1907, in regard to our experiments with the hydroplane on the river

here at Dayton. And also a print of the cut which appeared in a newspaper of the same date. The news item is not very accurate technically.

We have a stereotype in our possession, but have no copy of the original photograph from which it was taken. Our intention was to develop the hydroplane for use on our flyer, which would permit us to always find a good landing place by following some of the larger streams. During the night of March 21-22, the dam, which retained the water on which we were experimenting broke, so that it was impossible for us to continue our experiments. These experiments were made before anyone, excepting ourselves and Santos Dumont, had succeeded in getting off of the ground with a flying machine.”

“To Commander Silvio Scaroni, Orville Wright, December 17, 1928”—iconic and unusually large ‘first flight’ photograph signed on the 25th anniversary of the Wright brothers’ historic 1903 flight at Kitty Hawk, presented to a legendary Italian fighter pilot from World War I

7003. Orville Wright Signed ‘First Flight’ Photograph - Uncommonly Large Example Presented to an Italian WWI Ace. Tremendous vintage matte-finish 7 x 5 photo of the

first flight of the Wright Flyer near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Commander Silvio Scaroni, Orville Wright, December 17, 1928.” In fine condition, with curling to left and right sides. An atypically large signed photo of this iconic moment in aviation.

Orville Wright, age 32, is seen at the controls of the machine, lying prone on the lower wing with hips in the cradle, which operated the wing-warping mechanism. His brother, Wilbur Wright, age 36, ran alongside to help balance the machine, with this image showing him having just released his hold on the forward upright of the right wing. The starting rail, the wingrest, a coil box, and other items needed for flight preparation

are visible behind the machine. The historic photo shoot was organized by Orville Wright, who preset the camera and had John T. Daniels, a member of the U.S. Life-Saving Station in Kill Devil Hills, squeeze the rubber bulb and trigger the shutter.

The recipient, Tenente Silvio Scaroni (1893-1977) was a legendary Italian World War I fighter pilot credited with 26 victories who was the second-ranking Italian ace of the war.

It stands to reason that Scaroni was one of the many notable aviators in attendance at a 25th-anniversary celebration of the Wright brothers’ inaugural flight held by the International Air Congress at Kitty Hawk on December 17, 1928. Attended by Orville Wright, Amelia Earhart, and other dignitaries, the event was highlighted by the placing of a granite marker, carved to look like a boulder, set at the approximate location of the Wright brothers’ 1903 flight.

Piloted by Wilbur Wright, the Wright Flyer achieves record-breaking heights in a stunning oversized 1908 Christmas image

7004. Wilbur Wright Oversized Signed Photograph - Wright Flyer Sets an Altitude Record in 1908. Breathtaking vintage matte-

finish 11.75 x 15.75 mounted photo of Wright breaking an altitude record in his Wright Flyer, signed in the lower left in ink, “25 December 1908, Wilbur Wright.” Also signed in the lower right in ink by the photographer, Jules Garczynski. In very good condition, with irregular areas of fading and discoloration to ink, a stray ink mark touching the top of the ‘W’ in “Wilbur,” toning and adhesive remnants to borders of mount, and a crease to the upper left (passing from the edge to below the plane’s wing).

On December 18, 1908, as the Wright brothers’ landmark year was coming to a close, Wilbur Wright soared to a height of 110 meters above Le Mans, France, setting an epic new altitude record. For his achievement, he was given the Aero Club de la Sarthe prize.

This image beautifully captures that success, showing the Flyer soaring above Camp d’Auvours, with a balloon marking 100 meters well below. Oversized original photos of the Wrights’ famous machine are incredibly scarce; with the addition of Wilbur Wright’s elusive autograph, this is a truly exceptional piece. Starting Bid $1000

7005. Wilbur Wright in France: Archive of (15) Original Photographs (c.

1908). Remarkable collection

of 15 original vintage silver gelatin photographs of Wilbur Wright, the Wright Flyer, and other related subjects around Le Mans, France, in 1908, ranging in size from 6 x 4.5 to 9 x 7, with two mounted. Includes several exquisite portraits of Wilbur Wright, with three showing him seated in the cockpit of his Flyer, plus two ‘process photos’ showing him with a photographer; a series of four photos of Wright examining the damaged Flyer after a crash at Hunaudieres race course on August 13, 1908; Wright taking an automobile ride with Léon Bollée at the wheel; Wright examining a voiturette race car with others; and a couple of the Wright aeroplane on the ground.

Two photos are stamped on the reverse by photographer Cliche J. Thezard, and a few others bear copyright stamps of the “Illustrations Bureau.” Most images are extremely sharp and detailed, perfectly capturing the aviation pioneer during his important exploits in France. In overall fine condition.

Wilbur Wright arrived in France in 1908 to conduct a series of public demonstration flights in order to secure a contract for the manufacture and sale of airplanes. There he was introduced to Léon Bollée, an automobile manufacturer and early advocate for aviation. The two became fast friends: in Wilbur’s diary entry of June 8, 1908, he noted, ‘I went down to Le Mans at the invitation of M. Léon Bollée to inspect some grounds. M. Bollée met us and took us about in his automobile to see several places of which the racecourse and the military field were the most desirable. He was very kind, and offered us the conveniences of his factory and a big room to assemble the machine in if we chose. We will probably locate here, as the conveniences offered by M. Bollée will be of great value.’ In the biography The Bishop’s Boys: A Life of Wilbur and Orville Wright, author Tom Crouch observes: ‘There were, in fact, few things Bollée would not have done for Wilbur. A sport balloonist and president of the Aéro-Club de la Sarthe, he would become the Wrights’ closest friend in France.’

Wright indeed chose the Les Hunaudieres Race Course in Le Mans as the site for his first demonstration flight, conducted on August 8, 1908. This was the first of nine flights he made at Les Hunaudieres Race Course, before moving to a larger field at the nearby Camp d’Auvours. Wilbur’s flights captivated the public, and he secured the French contract with ease. An important archive documenting Wilbur Wright’s fruitful ventures at Le Mans, France. Starting Bid $200

Lindbergh begs reporters to leave his property on the morning after his son’s kidnapping: “Our roads are blocked and communication made extremely difficult under present circumstances” 7006. Charles Lindbergh Autograph Letter Signed After His Son’s Kidnapping, Ordering Reporters to Leave: “Our roads are blocked and communication made extremely difficult under present circumstances I am asking that everyone leave our farm”.

Remarkable and historically significant ALS in pencil, signed “Charles A. Lindbergh,” one page, 8.25 x 6, dated March 2, 1932 in the lower left. Handwritten letter by Lindbergh, penned just hours after the kidnapping of his son from his home in East Amwell, New Jersey. In full: “Due to the fact that our roads are blocked and communication made extremely difficult under present circumstances I am asking that everyone leave our farm. I am requesting your cooperation in the situation as it is of extreme importance to us.” In very good to fine condition, with light creasing and toning from prior display. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.

Accompanied by a copy of the original letter of provenance from Karl Bickel (“KAB”), which states: “Personally given to me

early (8 a.m.appasx) on morning after kidnapping in order to get large body reporters off lawn so that possible conversation with kidnappers could be made. Request agreed too.” Bickel was president of United Press from 1923 to 1935 and a personal friend of Charles Lindbergh; at the time Lindbergh’s baby was kidnapped, Bickel counseled him on how to handle the press.

Lindbergh later went to the United Press office several times in disguise to talk to Bickel about the case.

Lindbergh desperately wrote this letter just 12 hours after his twenty-month old son, Charles Jr., had been taken from the second floor nursery of the aviator’s New Jersey home; a ransom note was left on the window sill of the nursery demanding $50,000 for the child’s safe return. Bombarded by the press and curious onlookers, the distraught father handed this plea to Bickel, hoping to clear the property in an attempt to establish communication with the kidnapper. This hastily scribbled note harkens from the darkest time of Lindbergh’s life, direct from the scene of the most horrendous crime. Starting Bid $500

- Handwritten manuscript in pencil by Donald Albert Hall, one page, 8.5 x 11, recording time spent on the Spirit of St. Louis project from January 31 to May 9, 1927. The document walks through Hall’s design process for the Spirit of St. Louis, formally known as the Ryan NYP (for ‘New York to Paris’), which was loosely based on Ryan’s M-1/M-2 mailplanes. After doing some work on the M-1 wings and chassis, Hall exhaustively dedicated himself to the “NYP,” recording his tremendous input of time—often upwards of 70 hours per week. One week in April, according to his sheet, he “worked from 5:45 a.m.

Donald A. Hall was the chief engineer who designed the Spirit of St. Louis, the custom-built aircraft that Charles Lindbergh piloted during his historic 1927 transatlantic flight. Hall, working for Ryan Airlines in San Diego, California, created the aircraft in just 60 days. His design emphasized simplicity, efficiency, and long-range capability, with a focus on reducing weight and maximizing fuel capacity. The result was a single-engine monoplane featuring innovative elements like a heavily modified fuselage and wing design to accommodate extra fuel tanks, enabling the groundbreaking 3,600-mile journey.

B.F. Goodrich Mark IV pressure suit boot modified for Project Mercury, marked “Shepard Special” 7025.

B. F. Goodrich Modified Mark IV Pressure Suit Boot - Marked “Shepard”. Right-

footed boot associated with the B.F. Goodrich Mark IV pressure suit modified for Project Mercury, annotated inside in ballpoint in an unknown hand, “#4 Shepard Special,” hinting that the boot may have been produced for, assigned to, or sized for Alan Shepard, America’s first man in space. The boot measures 10.5˝ tall and 11˝ long, and features a zippered tongue flanked by crisscrossed nylon laces on one side (missing on the other), a zippered back, and black rubber sole. In very good to fine condition, with staining to the interior and surface wear to the toe and heel.

Pressure suits were developed by the US Navy and Air Force for the use of their pilots in high-altitude unpressurized fighter jets, and would be necessary to protect NASA astronauts in the event of sudden depressurization of the cabin in the vacuum of space. Upon testing, NASA preferred the Navy’s Mark IV suit, manufactured by B. F. Goodrich, as a platform: the most obvious modification NASA made was the replacement of the dark outer shell with aluminum-coated nylon for thermal control purposes, giving the suit a futuristic shiny silver appearance; most of the other changes also had to do with thermal and environmental control.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance explaining the boot’s origin, in part: “In 1969 my grandfather, Richard Welch Jr., who was a retired U.S. Marine, was in civil service working at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. He worked in the logistics division overseeing shipping, receiving, and on-site delivery operations for the government…My grandfather brought home these boots, the jacket and pants. When asked how he got all that stuff my grandfather replied, ‘There was a big bin of items that were slated to be destroyed and his manager told him, along with a few other workers that they were welcome to take home a few souvenirs.’” Welch went on to oversee the refurbishment of the presidential aircraft fleet performed by E-systems, worked on the development of Blackhawk helicopters in Alabama, and served as program manager for the Eastern Space and Missile Center.

Ex. Regency-Superior, April 2007.

Given the diminutive mass of the tiny hammer, it was presumably carried on the mission as a gag—shattering indicator lights while on orbit had the potential to generate fragments which

could get dispersed anywhere in the weightless cabin and cause malfunction. Interestingly, the ‘hammer’ is referenced in the Mercury-Atlas 9 mission transcript, as Cooper attempts to get correct readouts for fuel quantity. Cooper reports: ‘FQI (fuel quantity indicator), I’m indicating 101 (percent) on auto and 102 (percent) on manual.’ A range station communicator asks: ‘How’s your H20 separator lights working?’ Cooper replies: ‘Fine. They’re just beating their little hearts out every ten minutes.’ The Launch Complex 14 blockhouse communicator pipes in: ‘Faith Seven, this is Stony. Maybe, maybe the FQI is stuck. Why don’t you try the hammer?’ Cooper says: ‘Ha, ha! I’ll save that for later. I’m thinking of using the hammer on the dome temp, however. On the dome temp light.’

Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) document translated into Russian, reporting on the success of Alan Shepard’s MR-3 ‘Freedom 7’ flight, totaling 24 pages plus seven silver gelatin photographs, 8.25 x 11.75, July 8, 1961. The first page is a Russian translation of a letter from the director of the FAI in Paris to the head of the Russian FAI, with a handwritten note in red pencil by Sergei Korolev, the ‘Father of the Soviet Space Program,’ signed with his codename, “Sergeev,” with instructions to Nikolai Kamanin, the cosmonaut program manager (translated): “Very important to get this to the people who need to see it…before you go on your trip,” [with Gagarin to Cuba]. The report begins with a summary of the submission to the FAI for record-keeping purposes (translated): “On May 5, 1961, the Redstone rocket and Mercury cabin with a man on board were successfully launched into outer space in the USA, to an altitude of over 100 km.

The pilot in the cabin, Alan B. Shepard, Jr., returned safely to Earth on the same day. Two world records were registered in section 2A: altitude and lifting the largest mass without entering Earth orbit.” The report contains details on the mission, its results, and the specifications of the Mercury spacecraft.

The ‘Space Race’ between the United States and the Soviet Union escalated in 1961 with two historic manned spaceflights.

On April 12, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into space aboard Vostok 1, completing a single orbit around Earth and marking a major Soviet victory. Less than a month later, on May 5, American astronaut Alan Shepard piloted Freedom 7 in a suborbital flight, becoming the first American in space. Though shorter in duration, Shepard’s flight demonstrated the U.S. commitment to catching up in the race for space dominance. A remarkable, early piece representing the global competition to put men in space. Starting Bid $300

“My copy – Scott Carpenter”— original NASA-MSC flight plan for the historic Mercury flight of the Aurora 7 spacecraft 7032. Scott Carpenter’s Mercury-Atlas 7 Flight Plan. Scott Carpenter’s personallyowned and -used flight plan for the MercuryAtlas 7 mission, the fourth crewed flight of Project Mercury, which cemented Carpenter as the sixth human to fly in space when he piloted his Aurora 7 spacecraft around the Earth three times on May 24, 1962. The stapled manual, 40 pages, 8 x 10.5, stamped “For NASA Internal Use Only” and entitled “Flight Plan for MA-7/18, NASA-MSC, Langley Station, Hampton, Virginia, May 1, 1962,” is signed on the front cover in black felt tip, “My copy – Scott Carpenter.” Issued as “Copy 251.” the manual consists of four main ‘MA-7 Flight Plan’ sections — Launch Phase, First Orbit, Second Orbit, and Third Orbit — and an additional 17 reference sections related to mission specifics like “Communications,” “Precision Attitude Hold,” “Balloon Experiment,” “Star Observation and Haze Layer Check,” “Photographs,” and more.

The manual’s preface reads, in part: “The pilot’s primary responsibility during this mission is flight control and flight safety. His secondary responsibility is scientific experimentation and observation designed to further evaluate the spacecraft systems and to broaden our understanding of the space environment and man’s role in this environment. The MA-7/18 Flight Plan is organized to guide the pilot in carrying out the mission objectives and the individual experimental objectives. The reference sections of this document describe the flight test activities and their objectives…This is a final publication of the MA-7/18 Flight Plan.” The manual bears a few handwritten notations, and the front cover is marked in an unknown hand: “May 2000, Working copy, MSC book.” In fine condition.

A remarkable in-house NASA document deriving from the personal collection of Aurora 7 pilot Scott Carpenter, whose historic space flight into low Earth orbit was not without its share of controversy. A series of missteps, compounded by a malfunctioning pitch horizon scanner, forced Carpenter to control his reentry manually. As a consequence, the Aurora 7 missed its landing area broadly and Carpenter, no worse for wear, was left to float alone in his life raft for nearly an hour before recovery vehicles arrived on the scene.

Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance signed by Buzz Aldrin, in full: “Enclosed with this letter is a page numbered 3-85 and 3-86 from the Apollo 11 Final Flight Plan. It is part of

the entire document that was carried to the Moon in Command Module Columbia during the first lunar landing mission. The page is from the detailed timeline section and covers a short rest period after Neil Armstrong and I completed our historic 2 hour plus lunar surface exploration. Neither of us slept very well after the excitement of the first lunar landing and first moonwalk. Mike Collins was also scheduled for a rest period during that time during his 22nd orbit of the Moon.

The flight plan was probably the single most important document related to the success of our mission. It provided a time schedule of crew activities and spacecraft maneuvers to accomplish the first lunar landing. This page has been in my private collection since 1969.” Starting Bid $2500

Rare large example of Apollo 11’s iconic ‘visor shot,’ famously taken by Neil Armstrong and picturing Buzz Aldrin in the Sea of Tranquility

“The Apollo XI flight began with launch from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida” 7136. Buzz Aldrin Autograph Manuscript Signed on Apollo 11: “After a period of surface exploration by Commander Neil Armstrong and myself, the Lunar Module Pilot, the vehicle was staged”. AMS signed

“Buzz Aldrin,” one page, 8.25 x 11.75, no date. Handwritten manuscript by Buzz Aldrin, reflecting on the Apollo 11 mission.

In full: “The Apollo XI flight began with launch from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, U.S.A., at 13:32 G.M.T. on July 16, 1969. During the flight, the lunar module was separated in lunar orbit from the command module and descended to the lunar surface. After a period of surface exploration by Commander Neil Armstrong and myself, the Lunar Module Pilot, the vehicle was staged and the ascent stage lifted off the lunar surface.

A rendezvous was performed with the Command Module and the ascent stage was jettisoned in lunar orbit. The return trip and entry were normal, and the spacecraft landed in the Pacific Ocean at 16:60:00 G.M.T. on July 24, 1969.” In very fine condition. Starting Bid $300

“Flown to the Moon on Apollo XI”— a one-man EVA contingency checklist carried on the Lunar Module ‘Eagle’ 7137. Apollo 11 Flown LM Lunar Surface Checklist Page Signed by Buzz Aldrin - One-Man EVA Procedures.

Important flown single-sided page from the Apollo 11 LM Lunar Surface Checklist carried to the moon on the Lunar Module ‘Eagle,’ 5.5 x 8, signed and flight-certified in black felt tip, “LM Lunar Surface Checklist, One Man EVA, Flown to the Moon on Apollo XI, Buzz Aldrin.” Numbered “SUR-41” at the head, the yellow page details procedures necessary for either crewman to prepare for a one-man EVA, a contingency that was not carried out on the Apollo 11 mission.

The steps listed outline preparation for cabin depressurization, highlighted by the donning and locking of gloves and helmet, and verification of Portable Life Support System (PLSS). In very fine condition.

The Apollo 11 Lunar Surface Operations Plan acknowledges that ‘for various reasons, on the first lunar landing mission only a very limited time may be available to accomplish the EVA,’ and presents two alternative timelines for a one-man EVA: a ‘minimum-time, one-man EVA’ and a ‘one-man, two-hour EVA.’ In the ‘minimum-time’ scenario, the plan notes that either crewman ‘should be equally capable of conducting the desired tasks and contributing to the data returned,’ to include environmental familiarization on the lunar surface, contingency sample collection, a brief investigation of the astronaut’s capabilities in the lunar environment, photography activities, and a limited LM inspection.

Under the ‘one-man, two-hour’ timeline—to be undertaken in the event of the failure of one PLSS, an LM subsystem malfunction requiring continuous monitoring, or other unanticipated eventuality—most of the nominal activities of the standard two-man EVA were expected to be accomplished.

Ultimately, the Apollo 11 crew was able to conduct the two-man EVA as planned. CDR Neil Armstrong was the first to descend to the lunar surface, uttering his famous remark: ‘That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.’ Aldrin soon followed, and the two spent about two-and-a-half hours exploring the lunar surface.

‘Earth Is Watching’—sensational painting by Apollo 12 moonwalker Alan Bean, depicting LMP Harrison Schmitt during an Apollo 17 EVA 7202. Alan Bean Original Acrylic Painting - ‘Earth Is Watching’ (1983). Large original painting by Apollo 12

moonwalker Alan Bean entitled ‘Earth Is Watching,’ accomplished in acrylic on 35.5 x 23.5 sheet of masonite, which is signed in the lower right corner in black paint, “Alan L. Bean, © 1983.” Formerly owned by Apollo 7 LMP Walt Cunningham, the expertly realized painting depicts NASA image ‘AS17146-22294,’ which was taken by CDR Gene Cernan during the Apollo 17 mission on December 13, 1972. LMP Harrison Schmitt is shown working beside a huge boulder at Station 6 (base of North Massif) during the mission’s third EVA at the Taurus-Littrow landing site, with the front portion of the Lunar Roving Vehicle visible on the left. Framed without glass to an overall size of 40.5 x 28.5; the frame backing bears two affixed caption sheets, one with care and display instructions reads, in part: “This painting is by artist Alan Bean, the fourth man to walk on the moon and the first artist in all of art history to explore another world, return to earth and paint what he experienced there…This painting has been given a final coating of clear acrylic varnish. To clean, simply use clear water and a soft rag. Do not rub excessively, but only enough to remove accumulated dust and dirt. Do not use alcohol, turpentine, or strong cleaners of any type. This painting is copyrighted and all reproduction rights are retained by the artist.”

The second sheet offers a detailed description of the painting: “Astronaut Jack Schmitt is painted as he pauses for a moment in the shadow of a large boulder to put a 500-millimeter telephoto lens on his Hasselblad camera. It may take him a few minutes

because it calls for precise manipulation of lens and camera yet Jack must perform the task in relatively clumsy gloves.

The gloves make subtle finger motion awkward or impossible.

The telephoto lens was along on Apollo 17 to photograph distant objects or places too far away to travel in the rover during the limited time on the lunar surface. For example, a series of photographs of North Massive where we are now shows that this boulder was originally located 500 meters up to the left but broke and slowly slid down during the last 4 billion years or so — not exactly your typical avalanche.

The tires of the rover are not made of rubber but rather a combination of spring wires woven into tire shape. The TV camera on the rover is being directed from mission control in Houston. It was great for us viewers on Earth but a mixed blessing for Jack. It was about this time that mission control again reminded him to lower his gold visor. Jack felt he was a better geologist when he was looking only through the clear Lexan visor.” In very fine condition. This marvelous painting, an image of which can be viewed on Alan Bean’s personal website, was a prominent feature on the walls of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center for 12 consecutive years. While signed lithographs of Bean’s beloved artwork are routinely offered for sale and auction, his original paintings remain exceedingly scarce and nearly exclusively confined to institutions or private ownership.

APOLLO 13 “Flown to the moon aboard Apollo 13”— CSM Odyssey ‘Power Distribution Matrix, AC Buses’ flow chart signed by Fred Haise and James Lovell 7231. Apollo 13 Flown Power Distribution Flow Chart Signed and Flight-Certified by Fred Haise and James Lovell.

Flown ‘Power Distribution’ flow chart carried into lunar orbit aboard the Command Module Odyssey during the historic Apollo 13 mission, measuring 16.75 x 10.5 unfolded, signed and flight-certified in black ballpoint, “Flown to the moon aboard Apollo 13, Fred Haise LMP” and “James Lovell, CDR Apollo 13.”

The chart, tabbed “PWR DISTR AC,” features a NASA identification legend to the lower right corner, which reads: “Power Distribution Matrix, AC Buses / CSM / 108 Thru 111, Figure 3.2.” In fine condition.

An interesting mission-flown flow chart related to the CM Odyssey’s allocation and management of AC (alternating current) power.

During the Apollo 13 mission, the fuel cells were shut down when a catastrophic explosion in an oxygen tank depleted the available oxygen needed to operate them. As such, power management became critical and engineers and astronauts alike were forced to reconfigure its distribution using checklists like this to conserve enough electricity for reentry.

“Carried around the moon on Apollo 13”— a detailed schematic of the Lunar Module’s Propulsion Ascent System

7234. Apollo 13 Flown LM Systems Data Schematic Signed by Fred Haise - From the Personal Collection of Fred Haise. Flown 36 x 10.5

fold-out schematic of the Lunar Module’s Propulsion Ascent System carried around the moon as part of the Apollo 13 LM Systems Data Book, signed and flight-certified in black ballpoint, “Carried around the moon on Apollo 13, Fred Haise, Apollo 13 LMP.” Also annotated in red ink by Haise during training: “Min burn time - 0.5s, Min ΔT between burns - 5m, Max ΔP - 90psi, Tested ΔP - 20psi.” In fine condition.

Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance signed by Fred Haise, in part: “Accompanying this letter is a folded sheet labeled 2 APS from the Apollo 13 LM Systems Data Book carried on the flight of Apollo 13 during April 11 to 17, 1970.

Our flight was scheduled to be the third manned lunar landing mission but had to be aborted after a Service Module oxygen tank explosion.

This particular sheet is the Propulsion Ascent System Schematic for the Lunar Module. It illustrates the APS rocket engine with the corresponding fluid flow lines from the fuel and oxidizer tanks. The helium pressurization lines and regulators are shown plus the various shutoff valves. The APS was a 3,500 pound thrust rocket engine that was designed to propel the Ascent Stage of the LM from the lunar surface to a rendezvous with the Command Module remaining in lunar orbit. The explosion prior to our lunar landing eliminated the need for the APS to perform this task. However, if we developed trouble in the Descent Stage rocket engine during our emergency return to the earth, we could have utilized the APS. That, however, would have required ‘staging,’ resulting in loss of the Descent Stage and valuable consumables.

This schematic shows how we could monitor the status of the APS on the LM control panel with meters labeled ‘PRESS’ and ‘TEMP’ which provided the pressure and temperature measurements of our propellants. During training for Apollo 13, I made notes in red ink…This was to remind us during the flight that the APS has a minimum burn time of 1/2 second, we had to wait 5 minutes between burns, the maximum change of pressure was 90 pounds per square inch, and the tested change in pressure was 20 psi. Many of our LM systems were powered down during the period after the explosion to conserve electrical power. It was reassuring to have this and the other schematics in the Data Book as a trouble shooting tool in case of any other failures during the remainder of the flight. This sheet has been in my personal space collection since 1970.” Starting Bid $300

7235. Apollo 13 Flown Robbins Medallion - From the Personal Collection of Edgar Mitchell. Flown

sterling silver Apollo 13 Robbins medallion with later gold gilding and addition of a jump ring for inclusion on the charm bracelet of Louise Randall, the wife of Apollo 14 LMP Edgar Mitchell, measuring approximately 1.25˝ in diameter, featuring a raised design of the Apollo 13 mission insignia on the face—three horses driving Apollo’s chariot across the surface of the moon. The reverse boasts the names of the crew as flown, and is engraved with the launch date of April 11, 1970, and the return date of April 17, 1970. The medallion is serial numbered “357” and stamped above with the Robbins “Sterling” hallmark. Encapsulated and graded by NGC as “AU Details,” with the label noting the provenance, “Ex. Edgar Mitchell.” Accompanied by a certificate depicting the complete charm bracelet, which carried flown medallions from eleven Gemini and Apollo missions.

Owing to the unusual circumstances of the Apollo 13 mission, the affiliated Robbins medallion differs from its counterparts. A total of 400 medals were originally minted with the names of the scheduled prime crew—James Lovell, Ken Mattingly, and Fred Haise—and carried on the harrowing flight. The last-minute crew change, with Jack Swigert replacing Mattingly due to potential illness, dictated a return of the flown medallions to Robbins to be melted down and re-struck with the correct crew. Additionally, since the lunar landing was aborted, only two engraving blanks were placed on the reverse side for the launch and return dates. Starting Bid $300

“Lunar dust tended to make us sneeze”— a humorous handkerchief flown by the Apollo 14 LMP

flight-certified in blue ballpoint, “Flown to the Moon Aboard the ‘Kitthawk,’ Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 LMP, (lunar dust tended to make us sneeze).” In fine condition, with a central fold.

The Apollo astronauts found that lunar dust is highly abrasive and clings to everything it touches—many experienced irritation to their eyes and respiratory systems after exposure to the fine particles, resulting in what Apollo 17 moonwalker Harrison Schmitt called ‘lunar hay fever.’ From sneezing to nasal congestion, in some cases it took days for the reactions to fade. Although most of the lunar dust was too fine to be filtered through the ventilation/LiOH system, the Apollo 14 astronauts found that a vacuum cleaner, introduced as on-board equipment for their mission, satisfactorily cleared larger particles. Mitchell and Shepard used the vacuum to assist in removing lunar dust from suits and equipment prior to intravehicular transfer from the Lunar Module to the Command Module after lunar surface operations, and for cleanup in the Command Module.

Four BP-15 voice recorder batteries carried into lunar orbit on Apollo 14 (attested as flown by Edgar Mitchell’s daughter), measuring approximately 1.75˝ x 2.25˝ x .5˝, stamped with NASA part number “SEB33100264-301” and serial numbers “1046,” “1053,” “1055,” and “1056.” Each battery features a pulltab at the top for easy removal from the device. They exhibit overall wear and some corrosion to the contacts on the reverse. According to the Apollo 14 stowage list, 16 of these batteries were carried on the Command Module; they were used to power a portable tape cassette voice recorder/player, used for both scientific purposes—to record data and observations during the mission—and entertainment for the astronauts.

Rather than blast off with only blank cassettes, the astronauts took tapes that had been pre-filled with music befitting their tastes and recorded over them as the mission advanced. Mitchell dubbed one of his tapes with music from the Beatles, Blood Sweat and Tears, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Marvin Gaye, James Taylor, and Simon and Garfunkel. He later recalled carrying ‘four such cassettes in my personal preference kit, all of which served the dual purpose of providing entertainment during the six days in transit between the earth and the moon, plus a back up recording device for personal observations in the event of equipment failure of primary transmission devices.’ Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Karlyn Mitchell, the daughter of Edgar Mitchell.

Surface-flown Lunar Bible encased within a Faberge egg, from the Apollo 14 LMP’s collection

7283. Apollo 14 Lunar Surface-Flown Lunar Bible Text Fragment in Fabergé Egg - From the Personal Collection of Edgar Mitchell. From the personal collection of Apollo 14 Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell—a rare 50-page Lunar

Bible microfilm text fragment, carried around the moon on Apollo 13 and brought to the lunar surface on Apollo 14, presented in a modern Fabergé egg. The iconic ‘Lunar Bible’ represents the first Bible, the first complete scripture, and the first true book ever carried by man to another celestial world. Printed as a ‘microform’ tablet—the only format possible for flight to the lunar surface—a complete Lunar Bible contains all 1,245 pages of the King James Version. Initially, 512 of these microform Bibles were created and all flown on Apollo 13; some of these were distributed to dignitaries and notable persons following the successful return from the near-disastrous mission. A total of 300 of the Apollo 13–flown Bibles were then given to Edgar Mitchell to carry on Apollo 14; of these, 200 stayed in orbit in the Command Module, and he brought 100 to the surface in the Lunar Module.

In an effort to maximize the number of potential recipients, Reverend John M. Stout segmented a small portion of the bibles into 50-page and 2-page sizes following the mission. This is one of only 32 examples to be encased within a modern Fabergé egg, housed in its original deluxe velvet presentation box, with engraved plaque on the front: “Apollo 14 Lunar Surface Bible Text Fragment, 50 Pages.”

This lot is of profound significance not only to the space community as a twice-flown and once-landed lunar artifact, but also to the religious, rare book, and Masonic communities—Mitchell was a freemason and a member of Artesia Lodge No. 28 in New Mexico. Several of the 32 custom Fabergé presentations are already permanently off the market; the State of Georgia acquired an example for their rare-book holdings, another 50-page example is on indefinite loan to the Atlanta Masonic Library and Museum, and more of these precious few Faberge examples may become permanently institutionalized and unavailable to collectors in coming years.

Magnificent 18K solid gold Omega Speedmaster Pro presented to Apollo 14 moonwalker Edgar Mitchell 7287. Omega Speedmaster Professional 18K Gold Apollo Commemorative Watch - From the Personal Collection of Edgar Mitchell. Edgar Mitchell’s personally-

owned 18K solid yellow gold Omega Speedmaster Professional chronograph wristwatch (Ref. BA 145.022), presented to the Apollo 14 LMP by Omega following his success in the third lunar landing mission. One of a special numbered edition of 1014 pieces made to celebrate the success of the Apollo 11 moon landing, this watch is number “1002” and is engraved as such on the caseback. The back is further engraved with the recipient’s name and mission, “Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, Apollo 14,” with a central quote: “To mark man’s conquest of space with time, through time, on time.”

The first gold Speedmaster that Omega created, the watch features an 18K gold case with the same design cues and dimensions as the regular steel Speedmaster Professional.

The gold bezel has a burgundy red aluminum inlay, with the famous ‘dot over ninety,’ and a special solid gold dial, indicated by the “OM” next to “Swiss Made,” which means ‘Or Massif’ or ‘solid gold.’ The hour markers are made of onyx, have two facets each, and are set in gold frames. The hands are black with gold centers and give wonderful contrast to the solid gold dial. The gold Omega bracelet (1116/575) features hollow links and a small 14mm gold clasp with striping decoration. Inside the 18k gold 42mm case ticks the Lemania-based copper-

colored chronograph caliber 861 with a steel brake; this caliber 861 has a ticking speed of 21,600vph and uses 17 jewels.

Complete with its extremely rare three-dimensional cratered Omega Speedmaster box, featuring lunar imagery raised in relief on all four sides of the lid. The watch is in very good to fine cosmetic condition, with light wear from use, including a couple of scratches to the crystal and more significant scuffing to the clasp on the bracelet; the watch’s function is untested, and the clasp comes undone easily.

Of the 1014 examples of these watches produced, Omega famously reserved #1 and #2 for President Richard Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew; numbers 3-28 were then presented to the astronauts of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs at a famous gala dinner on November 25, 1969. As Mitchell had not yet flown in space, he did not receive a watch at that time. Those astronauts who flew later—the crews of Apollo 14 through 17—were presented with numbers 10011008 in 1972-73. The special inscription on the caseback—”To mark man’s conquest of space with time, through time, on time”—was reserved exclusively for the astronauts and select VIPs. The publicly available watches (#33-1000) featured two variants of a caseback commemorating Apollo 11 and the Speedmaster’s status as ‘the first watch worn on the moon.’

Rare example of the legendary ‘Sieger 100’ covers flown to the moon: “Landed at Hadley, Moon, July 30, 1971”

7335. Apollo 15 Lunar Surface-Flown Crew-Signed ‘Sieger’ Cover. Exceptionally rare flown Apollo 15 ‘Sieger’ postal

cover carried to the lunar surface aboard the LM Falcon, signed at the top in black felt tip, “Landed at Hadley, Moon, July 30, 1971, Dave Scott,” and “Jim Irwin,” and also signed in the lower left corner, “Dave Scott,” “Al Worden,” and “Jim Irwin.” On the reverse is the seldom-seen typed and notarized inscription that reads: “This is to certify that this cover was onboard the Falcon at the Hadley-Apennine, Moon, July 30-August 2, 1971,” notary stamped and signed Mrs. C. B. Carsey. Her raised notary seal is also applied to the cover. Also on the reverse, in the lower left corner, Sieger’s name, “H. W. Sieger,” is stamped then signed by him below a handwritten serial number, “060.” These flown Apollo 15 covers were constructed of a special lightweight material. In fine condition. Accompanied by an original 1973 letter from Sieger to a potential client offering a cover for sale.

Prior to the flight of Apollo 15, Hermann E. Sieger, a German stamp dealer, cut a deal with the crew to carry 100 covers to the moon in return for $7,000 each, on the condition that they not be sold until after the end of the Apollo program. The crew carried his covers, along with 300 of their own. Despite the agreement not to sell the items, the stamp dealer immediately began offering them to interested parties, leading to a Congressional investigation and a decision by NASA to suspend Scott, Worden, and Irwin from flight duty. This is one of those storied 100 covers, identified by the rarely seen handwritten astronaut inscription on the front and unique notarization on the reverse. Between their rarity and notoriety, Apollo 15 Sieger covers are prized by philatelists and space collectors alike. Starting Bid $1000

APOLLO 16 The fire extinguisher of the Command Module Casper—lifesaving, moon-orbiting equipment from the historic Apollo 16 lunar mission 7356. Apollo 16 Flown Fire Extinguisher Carried Aboard the Command Module Casper. Amazing fire

extinguisher attested as flown and carried aboard the Command Module Casper during the historic Apollo 16 mission to the moon. The metal canister extinguisher, 3.7 pounds, 7˝ x 8.5˝ x 4.75˝, features an affixed parts label to the lower base, which reads: “Item Name: Fire Extinguisher, NAA/S&ID Control No. ME 280-0010-0006, Contract No. NAS9-150, Manufacturing Date: 10 12 71, Manufacturer: Southwest Research Institute, Manufacturer’s Serial No. 652570001NNN, Manufacturer’s Part No. 220201-06, Total Weight: 7 LB 10 OZ.” The bottom base area also bears a red “Class III, Not for Flight’ deaccession label, a “Warning!” label for the safety pin, and a “Temperature Indicator” label. The upper connection port is engraved as follows: “FIKE, ½ 1000 PSI MAX, A3570-1, 304 SST.” In fine condition, with scattered scuffs and marks.

The Apollo 16 ‘Apollo Stowage List’ lists the fire extinguisher on the spacecraft manifest with part no. ME 280-0010-0006. Per the inventory, the fire extinguisher, issued as Item ‘00347.00,’ was stowed in compartment A3 of the CM’s aft bulkhead.

Following the tragedy of Apollo 1, NASA placed extra emphasis on the importance of fire safety. Per the NASA manual The Apollo Spacecraft: A Chronology: ‘In spite of efforts to eliminate all flammable materials from the interior of the spacecraft cabin during flight it was apparent that this could not be completely accomplished. For example silicone rubber hoses, flight logs, food tissues, and other materials would be exposed within the cabin during portions of the mission. However flammable materials would be outside their containers only when actually needed. Special fire extinguishers would be carried during flight…MSC’s Engineering and Development E & D Directorate recommended that the Apollo CM be provided with a foam fire extinguisher. E & D also recommended that the LM be provided with a water nozzle for extinguishing open fires and that cabin decompression be used to combat fires behind panels. An aqueous gel foam composition fire extinguisher was considered most appropriate for use in the CM because hydrogen in the available water supply could intensify the fire, water spray could not reach fires behind panels, and a shirt sleeve environment was preferred.’ Starting Bid $1000

Lift thruster rocket engine deinstalled from Lunar Landing Training Vehicle #3 7416. Apollo Lunar Lander Training Vehicle (LLTV) Rocket Engine. Thruster rocket engine installed

on Lunar Landing Training Vehicle 952 (LLTV #3), and subsequently removed from service due to a misaligned injector retainer. The engine measures approximately 9” x 7” x 5”, and is stamped on the propellant inlet and chamber: “S/N 8.” This serial number pertains to the motor, rather than the vehicle; the LLTV superseded the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (LLRV) and the motors were reappropriated for the LLTV as they both used the same propulsion system. The Bell-manufactured 500-pound thrust hydrogen peroxide motors were installed on the LLTV in a vertically-mounted configuration as ‘lift’ rockets, and were used to simulate the one-sixth lunar gravity the Commander/Lunar Module Pilot would encounter during descent to the moon’s surface. Accompanied by NASA-MSC parts control tags dated August 7, 1972, describing the engine: “Part Name: Lift Rocket, Part No. 7161-470001, A/C or GSE Name & No. NASA 952, Part S/N 8, Part Mfg. Bell, Condition Description: Cocked or Tilted Retainer.” The “Operating Time” is blank, indicating that it was removed due to this defect prior to flight.

NASA’s Lunar Landing Research Vehicle Monograph (SP-2004-4535) discusses the history and application of the important training vehicle. In total, ten moonwalkers utilized LLTV 952 to prepare for landing on the lunar surface. Bill Anders described the LLTV as ‘a much unsung hero of the Apollo Program,’ while Neil Armstrong emphasized its importance in an address before the Society of Experimental Test Pilots in 2007: ‘The Lunar Landing Training Vehicle, or LLTV, proved to be an excellent simulator and was highly regarded by the Apollo Lunar Module crews as necessary for lunar landing preparation.’ Sale of this item is limited to US Citizens and Organizations (only) to comply with US technology transfer restrictions.

Rare training-used Apollo Lunar Surface Closeup Camera 7513. Apollo Lunar Surface Closeup Camera Prototype/Training Model. Exceptionally desirable pro-

totype/training model of the Apollo Lunar Surface Closeup Camera (ALSCC), a specialized stereo camera developed for NASA by Eastman Kodak and designed to allow moonwalking astronauts to take pairs of extreme close-up shots of the lunar surface during their EVAs. The ALSCC would be used on Apollo 11, Apollo 12, and Apollo 14; the cameras themselves were left on the moon for the trip home to Earth, allowing a greater space/weight capacity for the return of lunar soil samples.

The photographs returned by the ALSCC revealed the grainy structure of lunar soil, as well as its unlikely property of cohesion—despite being bone-dry, it can clump together and stand unsupported for at least a few centimeters.

Using a pair of 46.12-mm lenses with their optical axes set 29 mm apart and an aperture fixed at f/17, the camera is completely self contained with its own lighting and film advance motor. The shutter is operated by a trigger at the end of the pistol-grip handle. The rounded shapes of the camera’s housing and internal mechanisms were specifically designed to prevent the accidental puncture of an astronaut’s glove or suit.

This training unit—one of four made by Eastman Kodak—is marked on the outside of the housing: “223-P1.” The upper housing can be lifted off to reveal its original batteries (inside the lid, wired to the base), and film transport mechanism; a segment of Kodak Ektachrome MS-SO 368 film is visible within the unit. The take-up film cassette was designed to be easily removable by the astronauts, so that the camera could be left behind on the lunar surface. In very good condition, with general wear and a few missing pieces (including a cracked knob on the top of the case).

Accompanying documentation includes: - “Familiarization Manual, Apollo Lunar Surface Close-Up Camera, ALSCC, Training Models 3 and 4,” 20 pages plus 7 photographic plates, explaining the training camera’s operation, assembly, battery handling, handle, filter assembly, and film

handling procedure. The cover page is detached but present.

- Two copies of a 38-page report entitled “The Apollo Lunar Surface Close-Up Camera (ALSCC),” authored by Bruce Elle and William Wilson, presented at the SPSE 23rd Annual Conference in New York City on May 21, 1970. The report describes the design and fabrication of the ALSCC, offering superb behind-the-scenes technical detail about the camera and its development.

- A spiral-bound Eastman Kodak company report, “Final Report, Apollo Lunar Surface Close-Up Camera, NAS 9-9094,” marked “Bruce L. Elle” on the front cover. According to this report, “As part of the overall ALSCC contract, Eastman Kodak Co. fabricated four units to be used for training astronauts and technicians on the use and care of the instrument. These training units reflected all of the configuration and operational parameters of the flight hardware, deviating only as necessary to expedite delivery for the earlier models.”

- Two handmade display cards, one describing the technical specifications of the ALSCC and the other outlining the contract’s schedule, with completion dates for various events in the rightmost column.

- 30 silver gelatin photographs related to the ALSCC, including product shots, detail views, and training exercises.

- 20 color slides, including several shots of the ALSCC and four related diagrams.

- Four color 8 x 8 photos taken on the lunar surface during Apollo 11, one of which prominently shows the ALSCC standing on the lunar surface.

- A 1989 ‘Kodakery’ newsletter with a story about the ALSCC, featuring an image of Bruce Elle holding an ALSCC on the back page. From the collection of Bruce Elle. Starting Bid $2500

NASA FLIGHT DIRECTORS & PERSONNEL

Amazing Apollo 11 MOCR record book from NASA flight controller Don Puddy, containing over 130 pages dedicated to the imminent flight of the Lunar Module Eagle 7434. Don Puddy’s Apollo 11 Lunar Module Flight Status Record Book. NASA engineer and manager (1937-

2004) who joined NASA in 1964 and later became the agency’s tenth flight director. He served as a flight director during the Apollo 17, Skylab, and Apollo-Soyuz Test Project missions, Skylab, and the first Space Shuttle mission. Puddy was on duty during the Apollo 11 lunar landing and he served as head of the team that came up with many of the Lunar Module lifeboat procedures that were eventually used after the Apollo 13 accident. NASA engineer Don Puddy’s personal record book for the historic Apollo 11 mission, which he meticulously organized and updated in his role as a TELMU (Telemetry, Electrical, and EVA Mobility Unit) in NASA’s Mission Operations Control Room that monitored the various systems of the lunar module. The hardcover book, 8˝ x 10.5˝, marked “Apollo 11 Log” on the spine, features over 130 pages of handwritten notes, memorandum sheets, team tables, daily update briefs, and sundry troubleshooting reports assembled by Puddy before the mission’s legendary launch on July 16, 1969.

In his role as a TELMU flight controller, Puddy was responsible for the electrical, life support, and communications systems of the Lunar Module Eagle (LM-5), critical mission elements that are broadly represented in this record book, which documents events between March and June 1969. Of immediate interest are Puddy’s copious handwritten notes, penned neatly in ink and felt tip, offering a unique glimpse into his managerial process.

Among them is an opening section headed “LM-5 Chronological,” which details docking and undocking procedures, EVA steps, and the eventual spacecraft rendezvous. Puddy writes down variations of “Mission Rules,” details changes

requested by the Apollo 11 crew members, references meetings on communications, consumables, and LM-5 chamber runs, and explores the potential of using the lunar module as a “lifeboat,” listing four instances: “Case 1 Open suit operation, staged-unstaged / Case 2 Commfailure, tunnel open / Case 3 Dual CSM suit fan failure (use transfer umbilical w/ LM suit fan) / Case 4 Unstaged, use of LM to supply elec pwr to CSM.” Puddy’s dedication to this emergency contingency proved invaluable for the crew of Apollo 13, who, less than a year later, were forced to shut down the CM’s power and use the LM as a lifeboat.

In addition to the notes are numerous affixed and paperclipped memorandum sheets, update reports, printed reminders, and various mimeographed documents, each pertaining to the LM-5’s imminent flight-ready status. Subjects include: “First LM-5 Altitude Chamber Run with Prime Crew - Armstrong and Aldrin, 21 March 69,” “Apollo 11 mission rules,” “S-band circuit margins,” “Branch manning for the Apollo program,” “Deployment of erectable antenna on lunar landing mission,” “Operational constraint on color TV usage,” “FRT Monitoring,” “AOH change review,” “LM H2O quantity sensors,” “Redline on LSS water,” “Guidelines for mission dependent redlines, G type mission,” “LM systems schematics requirements for Apollo 11,” and more. These correspondences were shared with Puddy by numerous NASA figures, including Gene Kranz, Deke Slayton, Chris Kraft, George M. Low, James E. Hannigan, Jerry W. Craig, Charles S. Harlan, Owen E. Maynard, John W. O’Neill, R. D. Legler, J. A. Joki, C. E. Charlesworth, Ralph S. Sawyer, Gary Watros, and others. In very good to fine condition, with expected signs of wear and use.

Von Braun writes to noted rocket scientist Ernst Stuhlinger, in full: "On page 3 Hermann Oberth reiterates some of his earlier proposals and adds a few new aspects and ideas. I think it would be quite useful if RPL would conduct a critical review of some of these ideas, because sooner or later we may find ourselves dragged into a controversy about the practical feasibility of some of these things; and I don't want to 'shoot from the hip' when confronted with such questions in public. On the other hand, to endorse proposals, just because Oberth made them, is not a good idea either, in view of NASA's congressional relations etc. I would appreciate your comments to items (1) through (5) on page 3. No hurry.

Something like July 1965 would be a good target date." In fine condition.

Wernher von Braun and Ernst Stuhlinger were close collaborators in rocket science, both having worked on Germany's V-2 program before contributing to the U.S. space program after World War II. Stuhlinger, a physicist and engineer, became one of von Braun's key team members at NASA, helping to develop propulsion systems for space exploration. Their professional relationship was marked by mutual respect, with von Braun recognizing Stuhlinger's expertise in ion propulsion and advanced space technologies. Starting Bid $300

“Are there any traces or remnants of ancient civilizations?”—Von Braun discusses the exploration of Mars, “the logical first objective of an interplanetary expedition” 7438. Wernher von Braun Autograph Manuscript Signed on Exploring Mars: “Are there any traces or remnants of ancient civilizations?”. Autograph manuscript draft

signed “Wernher von Braun,” one page, 8 x 9.5, no date. Writing in ink and pencil, Wernher von Braun drafts a page for one of his pioneering works on the exploration of Mars, beginning: “The planet Mars is the logical first objective of an interplanetary expedition. It’s clear atmosphere and weak surface gravity seems to make a landing simpler than a landing on cloud covered Venus…This is Mars, as seen from its outer moon, Deimos…its surface is a reddish colored desert. But when, in the Martian Spring, the snowcaps on the north pole melts, a green-bluish line begins to creep over the Northern Hemisphere.

Half a Martian year later, the same phenomenon is observed on the Southern hemisphere. Contemporary astronomers interpret these color changes as sprouting and withering vegetation.”

He goes on to ask: “But what kind of vegetation? Will it be limited to lichen and moss? Or will it be more advanced types of plants entirely unlike anything on earth? Will there be animal life on Mars? And even if we don’t expect any higher forms of animal life are there any traces or remnants of ancient civilizations?”

In fine condition.

In March 1952, von Braun published the first of a series of articles for Collier’s magazine dedicated to interplanetary spaceflight.

Accompanied by illustrations from Chesley Bonestell, Fred Freeman, and Rolf Klep, the articles thrilled a generation and soon led to the publication of The Mars Project in 1953 by the University of Illinois Press. Von Braun envisioned a 70-member crew aboard a fleet of ten spacecraft, comprised of seven ‘passenger’ ships and three ‘cargo’ ships. The cargo ships would orbit the planet and dispatch groups of explorers to the Martian surface on the smaller passenger vessels; they would then spend 443 days exploring Mars before returning to Earth, another 260-day voyage. In 1956, he published a second book—The Exploration of Mars—which further refined his ideas about human exploration of the ‘Red Planet.’

The Collier’s series drew widespread attention to von Braun’s vision of manned spaceflight—after the success of the first issue, he appeared on TV and radio shows around the nation to discuss the subject. He was soon recruited by Walt Disney, and served as a technical advisor for three TV films about space exploration between 1955 and 1957. These broadcasts brought the idea of the space program into American living rooms nationwide. For the first time, Americans had a vision of space travel not out of Buck Rogers, but grounded in scientific reality as envisioned by the central figure of the coming Space Age. Starting Bid $200

Isao Hirai's majestic 11-foot Space Shuttle Challenger tribute model to the tragic crew of the STS-51-L mission 7580. Isao Hirai: Space Shuttle Challenger 1:25 Scale 'Full Stack' Model - Approx.

11 Feet Tall. Incredible 1:25 scale ‘full stack’ model of the Space Shuttle Challenger made by master craftsman and model maker Isao Hirai of Hawthorne’s Scale Model Company, which realistically depicts the orbiter spacecraft and its coupled launch vehicle: a pair of recoverable Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) and the expendable External Tank.

Constructed of metal and composite materials, the orbiter and launch vehicle approximately measure 40˝ x 55˝ x 24˝ and 26˝ x 88˝ x 14˝, respectively, and are set atop a large rolling presentation base, 47˝ x 31˝ x 47.25˝, with a front descriptive plaque and an upper crew portrait honoring the tragic STS51-L mission. When fully assembled, this Space Shuttle display stands roughly 11 feet in height.

In fine condition, with trivial scuffs and cracks to model, and the base’s plaque bearing a lengthy scratch to the right side, none of which affect the overall magnificent presentation.

The plaque reads: “After twenty four successful Space Shuttle missions in slightly less than five years, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded into a gigantic fireball moments after liftoff on January 28, 1986, killing all seven crew members. The tragic accident came one day after the 19th anniversary of the only other Space Program accident to cause astronaut fatalities, and it was the first in-the-air disaster in fifty-six U.S. manned space missions.

While recognizing these tragic losses, we also hail the positive achievements of the Space Program — achievements that benefit all of mankind. Satellite communications and weather forecasting, advanced computer utilization, aerospace medicine, laser technology, state of the art instrumentation, new space age materials, as well as ecological mapping are but a few of the remarkable achievements that have become part of our daily lives as a result of the U.S. Space Program. This 1/25th Scale Model of the CHALLENGER was created by SCALE MODEL COMPANY, Hawthorne, California.

The exhibit is dedicated to the memory of those brave men and women who were lost while daring to live the dream of man in space.” After the tragedy of the STS-51-L mission, Isao Hirai was inspired to build his own 1/25th Space Shuttle Challenger based on drawings by Rockwell International. The glorious result offered here was loaned for display to anyone who wished to honor the fallen astronauts. The buyer is responsible for all associated shipping costs.

1:5 scale model of the water-seeking 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter, a sci-fi-inspired space probe that operates in Martian orbit to this day 7582. Isao Hirai: 2001 Mars Odyssey Orbiter 1:5 Scale Model. Impressive 1:5 scale model of the 2001

Mars Odyssey orbiter handmade by master craftsman and model maker Isao Hirai of Hawthorne’s Scale Model Company. Commissioned for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2002, the orbiter, which is constructed of metal, composite materials, and gold Kapton foil, approximately measures 32˝ x 47˝ x 15˝, with the boom structure extending to an additional 55˝ in height, and the solar array itself measuring 16.5˝ x 44.5˝. The model, which features notable instruments like the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS), the Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS), the Neutron Spectrometer (NS), and the Mars Radiation Environment Experiment (MARIE), is presented on a 16˝ x 16.5˝ x 1.75˝ base, the underside of which bears the Scale Model Co. label. In fine condition, with the lid to the GRS missing, and the model’s extensive boom bent at its middle section; the boom, which was designed to be removable for display and shipping purposes, is presently detached and will need to be re-adhered with the proper binding agent.

A brilliantly made replica of the historic 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter. Developed by NASA and contracted out to Lockheed Martin, the orbiter was designed to use spectrometers and a thermal imager to detect evidence of past or present water and ice, as well as study the planet's geology and radiation environment. The mission, which was named as a tribute to Arthur C. Clarke, evoking the name of his and Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, was a rousing success across several fronts.

Of major scientific interest were the Odyssey's detection of large amounts of hydrogen, a sign that there must be ice lying within a meter of the planet's surface, and its subsequent mapping of the distribution of water below the shallow surface. Moreover, having launched on April 7, 2001, the Odyssey’s mission broke the record for the longest-serving spacecraft at Mars, with 3,340 days of operation. As of now, the 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter is still operational and remains in orbit around Mars. It continues to serve its exploratory mission and function as a critical communication relay for other spacecraft on Mars, including the Perseverance and Curiosity rovers.

METEORITES A whole rock from the Planet Mars— a desirable 47.2 gram specimen 7574. Amgala 001 Martian Meteorite - A Whole Mars Rock. Amgala 001 Martian Meteorite Whole Rock Specimen 50 mm x 30 mm x 20 mm 47.2 grams

A large asteroid impacted Mars long ago and dislodged a rock from the Martian surface with enough energy to escape the atmosphere and gravity well of Mars. Most Martian material remains in roughly a Martian orbit for most impact angles.

But in this case, the rock orbited the sun for millions of years in an elliptical orbit, and by luck, landed on Earth. Only 0.4% of meteorites are from Mars, making them more rare than pure diamond on Earth!

From the geochemistry and analysis of various isotopes, we can deduce the origin and transit time of interstellar objects. The meteorites from Mars exhibit precise elemental and isotopic compositions similar to rocks analyzed by spacecraft on Mars, starting with the Viking lander in 1976. Compared to other meteorites, the Martians have younger formation ages, unique oxygen isotopic composition (consistent for Mars and not for Earth), and the presence of aqueous weathering products.

The formation ages of meteorites can come from their cosmic-ray exposure (CRE), measured from the nuclear products of interactions of the meteorite in space with energetic cosmic ray particles. This one is particularly young, having crystallized only 180 million years ago, suggesting that volcanic activity was still present on Mars at that time. Volcanic flows are the youngest part of a planet, and this one happened to be hit by a meteor impact, ejecting the youthful Mars.

Amgala 001 has been analyzed by Tony Irving of the University of Washington’s Department of Earth and Space Sciences, and classified in the Meteoritical Bulletin as a Martian meteorite (shergottite). It was found December 2022 in Western Sahara near Meharrize and purchased by Mark Lyon, the source of this meteorite.

Amgala 001 has a weathered exterior with a knobby appearance. The interior is greenish gray in color with darker olivine phenocrysts visible. Opaque shock veins crisscross the specimens and there are also calcium veinlets. Amgala 001 has a low terrestrial weathering grade. Starting Bid $200

Conditions of Sale ANYONE EITHER REGISTERING TO BID OR PLACING A BID (“BIDDER”) ACCEPTS THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND ENTERS INTO A LEGALLY, BINDING, ENFORCEABLE AGREEMENT WITH R&R AUCTION COMPANY OF MASSACHUSETTS, LLC (“RR AUCTION”) TOGETHER WITH BIDDER, THE “PARTIES”).

This Agreement contains important provisions that control rights and liabilities, and specifically has provisions governing how disputes are handled as well as LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY that can be imposed upon RR Auction, WAIVER OF JURY and ARBITRATION PROVISIONS. This acknowledgement is a material term of these Conditions of Sale and of the consideration under which RR Auction agrees to these terms. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. The following terms and conditions (“Conditions of Sale”) constitute the sole terms and conditions under which RR Auction will offer for sale and sell the property on its website, and/or described in the catalog of items for auction (the “Catalog”). These Conditions of Sale constitute a binding agreement between the Parties with respect to the auction in which Bidder participates (the “Auction”). By bidding at the Auction, whether in person, through an agent or representative, by telephone, facsimile, online, absentee bid, or by any other form of bid or by any other means, Bidder acknowledges the thorough reading and understanding of all of these Conditions of Sale, all descriptions of items in the Catalog, and all matters incorporated herein by reference, and agrees to be fully bound thereby.

Section 1 The Parties1.1 RR Auction and Auction This Auction is presented by RR Auction, a d/b/a/ of R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC, as identified with the applicable licensing information on the title page of the Catalog or on the www.RRauction. com Internet site. The Auction is conducted under these Conditions of Sale. Announcements and corrections from the podium at live auctions and those made through the Conditions of Sale appearing on the Internet at RRauction.com supersede those in the printed Catalog.

1.2 Bidder Bidder shall mean the original Bidder on the property offered for sale by RR Auction and not any subsequent owner or other person who may acquire or have acquired an interest therein. If Bidder is an agent, the agency must be disclosed in writing to RR Auction prior to the time of sale, otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall be limited to the agent and not transferable to the undisclosed principal.

The rights granted to Bidder under these Conditions of Sale are personal and may not be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise without the express written assent of RR Auction. Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey these Conditions of Sale or any of the rights herein, and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred on any Bidder by these Conditions of Sale, and no third party is intended as a beneficiary of these Conditions of Sale.

Bids will not be accepted from minor persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent or legal guardian’s written consent containing an acknowledgment of the Conditions of Sale herein and indicating their agreement to be bound thereby on behalf of the Bidder.

All Bidders must meet RR Auction’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of RR Auction may be disqualified at RR Auction’s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by RR Auction in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. RR Auction reserves the right to exclude any person from the Auction.

If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid and

agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale in addition to company for whom the Bidder is acting By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment.

Section 2 Bidding Privileges 2.1 In order to place bids, Bidders who have not established an account with RR Auction must either furnish satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) or supply additional information if requested, well in advance of the Auction. Bidders who are not members of RRAuction.com should pre-register before the close of the Auction to allow adequate time to contact references. Privileges will be granted at the sole discretion of RR Auction. Additionally, Bidders who have not previously established credit or who wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide a cash deposit prior to RR Auction’s acceptance of a bid. Check writing privileges and immediate delivery of merchandise may also be determined by pre-approval of credit based on a combination of criteria: RRAuction.com history, related industry references, bank verification, a credit bureau report and/or a personal guarantee for a corporate or partnership entity in advance of the Auction venue.

2.2 Bidder providing any false or misleading information provided in connection with the registration shall be a material breach of the Conditions of Sale and in addition to any other remedies at law shall excuse RR Auction from performance under these Conditions of Sale, including the right to any refund.

2.2 Bidding privileges may be revoked without notice, for any reason, at the sole discretion of RR Auction .

Section 3 Buyer’s Premium 3.1 The Bidder acknowledges and agrees that a 25% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price on all individual lots sold in timed and live Auctions. . For payment other than by cash, delivery will not be made unless and until full payment has been received by RR Auction, i.e., check or wired funds have fully cleared. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, signed by RR Auction, payment in full is due within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is earlier. Bidder’s failure to pay any payment in full when due required shall constitute a material breach, and in addition to other damages available under contract or law, at RR Auction’s election, RR Auction may cancel the sale and require full premium still be due along with interest at 1.5% per month from the date of breach, or at the maximum legally allowable rate.

Section 4 Bidding 4.1 Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than the any reliance as to what is represented in the Catalog, online or elsewhere. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by RR Auction concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by RR Auction (including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, liens existing, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. 4.2 RR AUCTION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile, online, and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and RR Auction has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot,

even if the Bidder has made a mistake.

4.3 All prospective Bidders who examine lots in person prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. RR Auction shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder.

4.4 Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Bidder and Bidder has fully satisfied any outstanding financial obligations to RR Auction (including as it concerns aby other lots). RR Auction reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Bidder.

4.5 It is the Bidder’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in their possession. Bidder assumes any and all risk of loss upon the earlier of shipment to Bidder or in Bidder’s possession.

4.6 Bidder grants to RR Auction or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due by RR Auction, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Bidder in possession or control of RR Auction or from any sums due to Bidder by RR Auction. Bidder further grants RR Auction a lien consisting of a senior security interest (or purchase money security interest to the extent applicable) in such sums or items to the fullest extent applicable, authorizes RR Auction to file documents concerning the interest, and Bidder agrees to execute any further documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant RR Auction such security interest. Bidder agrees that RR Auction and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Bidder and in the possession of RR Auction, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued fees and expenses, until the indebtedness is paid.

4.7 By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment. The authorized representative of any corporate Bidder who is present at the sale shall provide RR Auction or its agent, prior to the commencement of the bidding (or at the time of registration), with a statement signed by a principal, director or officer that they he or she personally and unconditionally guarantees any payment due RR Auction.

4.8 RR Auction may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Bidders.

Section 5 Bidding Options 5.1 Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to in-person, facsimile, phone and mail bids) are treated similarly to floor bids in that they must be on-increment. Any in-person, facsimile, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full increment and this revised amount will be considered Bidder’s high bid.

5.2 When identical bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at RR Auction’s place of business at least twenty-four (24) hours before the Auction start. RR Auction is not responsible for executing mail bids or facsimile bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted after the published closing time; nor is RR Auction responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, facsimile, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins.

5.3 In all Auctions, bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%, or as specified on a per-Auction basis. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted.

In a live sale, bids on an item can change at the discretion of RR Auction.

5.4 RR Auction reserves the right to accept or decline any bid. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All bids are per lot unless otherwise announced. Live auction lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless RR Auction directs otherwise. It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another Bidder to pay less than the fair value for lot(s). For live auctions, RR Auction will have final discretion in the event that any dispute should arise between Bidders. RR Auction will determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale,

or re-offer and resell the lot or lots in dispute. RR Auction will have final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute arises, RR Auction’s sale record is conclusive.

Section 6 Payment 6.1 Subject to fulfillment of all of the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, upon the sooner of (1) the passing of title to the offered lot pursuant to these Conditions of Sale, or (2) possession of the offered lot by the Bidder, Bidder thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility (including without limitation, liability for or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings, photos, or other works), and (b) will immediately pay the full purchase price or such part as RR Auction may require. In addition to other remedies available to RR Auction by law, RR Auction reserves the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. All property must be removed from RR Auction’s premises by the Bidder at his/her expense not later than sixty (60) business days following its sale and, if it is not so removed, RR Auction may send the purchased property to a public warehouse for the account, at the risk and expense of the Bidder.

6.2 Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. RR Auction reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within thirteen (13) calendar days of the Auction or within twelve (12) calendar days of the invoice date. In cases of nonpayment, RR Auction’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay RR Auction its fees (seller’s and Buyer’s Premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot.

6.3 All sales for total invoices greater than $1,000 are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier checks, eChecks, and bank money orders), and are subject to all reporting requirements.

6.4 All deliveries are subject to good funds; funds being received in RR Auction’s account before delivery of the Purchases; and all payments are subject to a clearing period. RR Auction reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds”: checks drawn on a U.S. bank are subject to a ten (10) calendar day hold, and ten (10) business days when drawn on an international bank. Clients with pre-arranged credit status may receive immediate credit for payments via e-Check, personal or corporate checks.

6.5 In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If Bidder attempts to pay via check and the financial institution denies the transfer from Bidder’s bank account, or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, Bidder agrees to complete payment.

6.7 If RR Auction refers any unpaid invoice to an attorney for collection, the Bidder agrees to pay and shall be liable for RR Auction’s attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by RR Auction in addition to the invoice amount and interest the greater of 1.5% per month or at the maximum legally allowable rate from date of invoice to collection. If RR Auction assigns collection to its house counsel, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.

6.8 RR Auction shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the Bidder (as well as to the extent it is a consignor any other monies owed or due to Bidder) to secure payment of the Auction invoice. RR Auction is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of the Bidder then held by RR Auction or its affiliates to secure payment of any Auction invoice or any other amounts due RR Auction or affiliates from the Bidder. With respect to these lien rights, RR Auction shall have all the rights of a secured creditor, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition, with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the Bidder waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against RR Auction and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice (the Consignor”). If a Bidder owes RR Auction or its affiliates on any account, RR Auction and its affiliates shall have the right to offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien any unpaid amount by any of the Bid-

der’s property in their possession.

Rights Reserved

Section 8 Delivery; Shipping; and Handling Charges Bidder is liable for shipping and handling and providing accurate information as to shipping or delivery locations and arranging for such. RR Auction is unable to combine purchases from other auctions or affiliates into one package for shipping purposes. Lots won will be shipped in a commercially reasonable time after payment in good funds for the merchandise and the shipping fees is received or credit extended, except when third-party shipment occurs.

Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified Customs declarations, to RR Auction for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States.

Section 10

Section 11 Conducting the Auction 11.1 RR Auction reserves the right to postpone the Auction or any session thereof for a reasonable period of time for any reason whatsoever, and no Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have any claim as a result thereof, including consequential damages.

11.2 RR Auction’s Discretion: RR Auction shall determine opening bids and bidding increments. RR Auction has the right in its absolute discretion to reject any bid in the event of dispute between Bidders or if RR Auction has doubt as to the validity of any bid, to advance the bidding at its absolute discretion and to determine the successful Bidder in the event of a dispute between Bidders, to continue the bidding or to reoffer and resell the lot in question. In the event of a dispute after the sale, RR Auctions record of final sale shall be conclusive. RR Auction also may reject any bid if RR Auction decides either that any bid is below the reserve of the lot or article or that an advance is insufficient. Unless otherwise announced

by RR Auction at the time of sale, no lots may be divided for the purpose of sale.

11.3 Reserves Lots may be subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. Consignors may not bid on their own lots or property. RR Auction may, from time to time, bid on items that it does not own. RR Auction may execute bids consecutively or otherwise up to one bid increment below the reserve.

11.4 Off-Site Bidding Bidding by telephone, facsimile, online, or absentee bidding (advance written bids submitted by mail) are offered solely as a convenience and permitted subject to advance arrangements, availability, and RR Auction’s approval which shall be exercised at RR Auction’s sole discretion. Neither RR Auction nor its agents or employees shall be held liable for the failure to execute bids or for errors relating to any transmission or execution thereof. In order to be considered for off-site bidding in any manner, Bidders must comply with all of these Conditions of Sale and the terms contained on the Registration Form.

11.5 Estimate Prices: In addition to descriptive information, each item in the Catalog sometimes includes a price range which reflects opinion as to the price expected at auction (the “Estimate Prices”). In other instances, Estimate Prices can be obtained by calling RR Auction at (603) 732-4280. The Estimate Prices are based upon various factors including prices recently paid at auction for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality, history and provenance.

Estimate Prices are prepared well in advance of the sale and subject to revision. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or sales tax (see under separate heading).

11.6 Owned or Guaranteed Property: RR Auction generally offers property consigned by others for sale at public auction; in very limited occasion, lots are offered that are the property of RR Auction.

11.7 Before the Auction: Bidder may attend pre-sale viewing for all of RR Auction’s auctions at no charge. All property to be auctioned is usually on view for several days prior to the sale. Bidder is encouraged to examine lots thoroughly. Bidder may also request condition reports (see below). RR Auction’s staff are available at viewings and by appointment.

11.8 Maximum Bids In All Auctions: To maximize Bidder’s chance of winning, RR Auction strongly encourages

the use of maximum bids. RR Auction will then bid for Bidder until the lot reaches Bidder’s specified maximum. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, non-incremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the under Bidder’s bid.

11.9 Successful Bids: The fall of RR Auction’s hammer indicates the final bid. RR Auction will record the paddle number of the Bidder. If Bidder’s salesroom or absentee bid is successful, Bidder will be notified after the sale by mailed or emailed invoice.

11.10 Unsold Lots: If a lot does not reach the reserve, it is bought-in. In other words, it remains unsold and is returned to the Consignor. RR Auction has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.

11.11 Bidding in Timed Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right. The auctioneer may also execute a bid on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids.

Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

Any Bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. At that time, an extended bidding period goes into effect. If Bidder has not bid on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT, Bidder may not bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. Only those Bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm EST/EDT will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the only Bidder on a lot at 6 pm EST/EDT, that lot is awarded to Bidder. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm EST/EDT. All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm EST/EDT will remain OPEN to ALL Bidders until 7 pm EST/EDT or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm EST/EDT, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm EST/EDT, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot (the “30 Minute Rule”). The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the Auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm EST/EDT. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm EST/EDT. If Bidder is the high Bidder, raising Bidder’s maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the Auction at any time at its sole discretion.

11.12 Bidding - Internet Live Auction: Bidder may open, monitor, and/or raise bids at any time before the close of a lot through www.rrauction.com. RR Auction offers a callback service the day of the Auction, but Bidder is responsible for supplying a correct telephone number(s) where Bidder can be reached until the Auction closes. Bidder must request this service in writing. RR Auction will make reasonable efforts to ensure that Bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, RR Auction does not guarantee this service and it is merely a courtesy and not an enforceable right.

To ensure proper registration, those Bidders intending to bid via the Internet must visit www.RRauction.com and register accordingly at least one full day prior to the actual auction. Winning bidders will be notified by RR Auction. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays,

or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids.

During live internet or live auction, property is auctioned in consecutive numerical order, as it appears in the catalog. The auctioneer will accept bids from those present in the salesroom or absentee bidders participating by telephone, internet or by written bid left with RR Auction in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may also execute a bid or bids (successively or otherwise) on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve, either by entering a bid in response to salesroom, telephone or absentee bids. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the consignor above the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the consignor to protect the reserve. All auctions for lots are with reserve unless specifically stated otherwise.

During live Auctions, internet bids can be placed in real time through one or more of the following Third Party services: www.liveauctioneers.com, www.invaluable.com and www.icollector.com. RR Auction is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or any other issues or problems resulting out of use of the Internet generally or specifically, including but not limited to transmission, execution or processing of bids. RR Auction treats any third-party site bids as floor or telephone bids. Floor bids and telephone bids are always considered first over third party sites bids, and floor bids are considered earlier than telephone bids. All RR Auction lots purchased through the third-party sites carry an additional Buyer’s Premium.

11.13 Miscellaneous: Agreements between Bidders and Consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize RR Auction’s Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction, are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of this provision, RR Auction reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer’s Premium and Consignor a Seller’s Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the seller’s agreement.

Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be contacted by RR Auction in the future. In conformity with ”do-not-call” regulations promulgated by the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until it is revoked in writing. RR Auction may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase, and auction opportunities available.

11.14 Rules of Construction: RR Auction presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as such, specific venues have promulgated supplemental Terms and Conditions. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the general Conditions of Sale by these additional rules and shall be construed to give force and effect to the rules in their entirety.

Section 12 RR Auction’s Remedies Failure of the Bidder to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale or the terms of the Registration Form is an event of material breach or default.

In such event, RR Auction may, in addition to any other available remedies specifically including the right to hold the defaulting Bidder liable for the Purchase Price or to charge and collect from the defaulting Bidder’s credit or debit accounts as provided for elsewhere herein: (a) cancel the sale, retaining any payment made by the Bidder as damages (the Bidder understands and acknowledges that RR Auction will be substantially damaged should such default occur, and that damages under sub-part (a) are necessary to compensate RR Auction for such damages); (b) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately; (c) charge the Bidder interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest allowable interest rate; (d) take any other action that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to preserve and protect RR Auction’s rights and remedies.

Should RR Auction resell the property, the original defaulting Bidder shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses associated there with, including but not limited

to warehousing, sales-related expenses, reasonable attorney fees and court costs, commissions, incidental damages and any other charges due hereunder which were not collected or collectable. In the event that such Bidder is the successful Bidder on more than one lot and pays less than the purchase price for the total lots purchased, RR Auction shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots that RR Auction, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. If RR Auction does not exercise such discretion, the lots to which the payment shall be applied will be in descending order from the highest purchase price to the lowest. Any Bidder failing to comply with these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed to have granted RR Auction a security interest in, and RR Auction may retain as collateral such security for such Bidder’s obligations to RR Auction, any Bidder’s property in RR Auction’s possession or to which title has not yet passed to Bidder. RR Auction shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Section 13 Warranties 13.1 RR Auction does not provide any warranties to Bidders, whether expressed or implied, beyond those expressly provided in these Conditions of Sale. All property and lots are sold ”as is” and “where is”. By way of illustration rather than limitation, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to merchantability or fitness for intended use, condition of the property (including any condition report), correctness of description, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, importance, exhibition, relevance, attribution, source, provenance, date, authorship, condition, culture, genuineness, value, or period of the property. Additionally, neither RR Auction nor the Consignor makes any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to whether the Bidder acquires rights in copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property (including exhibition or reproduction rights) related to the item, or whether the property is subject to any limitations or other rights. RR Auction does not make any representation or warranty as to title.

13.2 All descriptions, photographs, illustrations, and terminology including but not limited to words describing condition (including any condition reports requested by Bidder, see also Terminology), authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, and relevance, used in the Catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or anywhere else, represent a good faith effort made by RR Auction to fairly represent the lots and property offered for sale as to origin, date, condition, and other information contained therein; they are statements of opinion only. They are not representations or warranties and Bidder agrees and acknowledges that he or she shall not rely on them in determining whether or not to bid or for what price. Price estimates (which are determined well in advance of the Auction and are therefore subject to revision) and condition reports are provided solely as a convenience to Bidders and are not intended nor shall they be relied on by Bidders as statements, representations or warranties of actual value or predictions of final bid prices.

13.3 Bidders are accorded the opportunity to inspect the lots and to otherwise satisfy themselves as to the nature and sufficiency of each lot prior to bidding, and RR Auction urges Bidders to avail themselves accordingly.

13.4 All lots sold by RR Auction are accompanied by an Auction Certificate (“AC”). On any lot presented with an AC issued by RR Auction, the certification is only as to its attribution to the person or entity described or to the lot’s usage and only as explicitly stated therein (the “AC”), to the exclusion of any other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to those pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The AC inures only to the original Bidder (as shown in RR Auction’s records). Bidder may not transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the AC and such purported transfer, assignment, or conveyance shall be null and void.

Section 14 Firearms RR Auction complies with all Federal and State rules and regulations relating to the purchasing, registration and shipping of firearms. A Bidder is required to provide appropriate documents and the payment of associated fees, if any. Bidder is responsible for providing a shipping address that is suitable for the receipt of a firearm.

Section 15 Unauthorized Statements Under no circumstances is any employee, agent or representative of RR Auction authorized by RR Auction to modify, amend, waive or contradict any of these Conditions of Sale, any term or condition set forth on a registration form, any warranty or limitation or exclusion of warranty, any term or condition in either the Registration Form or these Terms and Conditions regarding payment requirements, including but not limited to due date, manner of payment, and what constitutes payment in full, or any other term or condition contained in any documents issued by RR Auction unless such modification, amendment, waiver or contradiction is contained in a writing signed by all parties. Any statements, oral or written, made by employees, agents or representatives of RR Auction to Bidder, including statements regarding specific lots, even if such employee, agent or representative represents that such statement is authorized, unless reduced to a writing signed Bidder and by an authorized officer of RR Auction by all parties, are statements of personal opinion only and are not binding on RR Auction, and under no circumstances shall be relied upon by Bidder as a statement, representation or warranty of RR Auction.

Section 16 Bidder’s Remedies 16.1 Except as stated expressly herein, Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy related to or pertaining to items it bids upon, views, or purchases from RR Auction, and any claims by Bidder related to authenticity, ownership, condition, title or value, shall be against Consignor only.

16.2 This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies of Bidder as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, officers, managers, employees or agents), or in any way arising out of, related to, or in connection with these Conditions of Sale, , and is expressly in lieu of any other rights or remedies which might be available to Bidder by law. Time is of the essence with respect to these procedures.

16.3 Title to Items The Bidder hereby accepts the benefit of the Consignor’s warranty of title and any other representations and warranties made by the Consignor for the Bidder’s benefit. In the event that Bidder demonstrates in writing, satisfactory to the sole discretion of RR Auction, that there was a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of title concerning a lot purchased by Bidder, RR Auction may make demand upon the Consignor to pay to Bidder the Purchase Price (including any premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid or due to RR Auction). Should the Consignor not pay the Purchase Price to Bidder within thirty days after such demand (if any made), RR Auction may disclose the identity of the Consignor to Bidder and may assign to Bidder all or some of RR Auction’s rights against the Consignor with respect to such lot or property. Upon such disclosure and/or assignment, all responsibility and liability of RR Auction, if any, with respect to said lot or item shall automatically terminate related to or arising from these Conditions of Sale or such transaction operating as a complete waiver and general release by Bidder as to RR Auction and its agents, contractors, and affiliates, as to any and all claims concerning or related to the item, if any . RR Auction shall be entitled to retain the premiums and other amounts paid to RR Auction by Consignor only. The rights and remedies provided herein are for the original Bidder only and they may not be assigned or relied upon by any transferee or assignee under any circumstances.

16.4 Authenticity Challenge Process (1) If Bidder wishes to dispute or challenge the Authenticity of the lot or item (including asserting that it is incorrect), Bidder must adhere to the following procedure: Within 30 days of the Auction Date, Bidder must present written evidence to RR Auction, that the lot is not authentic as determined by a known expert in the field (and one recognized by RR Auction within its discretion) and send the physical item or lot at issue to RR Auction along with all evidence relied upon by Bidder for contesting the Authenticity. (“Authenticity Challenge Process”) “Authenticity” shall mean a gross discrepancy in the between the description, genuiness, or attribution of the item as represented by RR Auction in the Catalog or at the auction, and the item. If RR Auction concurs that the lot is not Authentic as was represented (it is sole discretion), Bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy

as against RR Auction (inclusive of its affiliates, agents, employees, and contractors) shall be a refund of the purchase price of the subject item paid by Bidder, with no other costs, liabilities or amounts recoverable by Bidder. If RR Auction does not agree with the assertion by Bidder, then the Parties shall follow the dispute resolution procedures of these Conditions of Sale. Strict adherence to the Authenticity Challenge Process is a condition of standing for Bidder to initiate suit or claim.

RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by RR Auction or other packers and carriers, whether or not recommended by RR Auction. RR Auction assumes no and disclaims all responsibility and liability for damage to frames, glass or other breakable items. Where RR Auction arranges and bills for such services via invoice, RR Auction will include an administration charge.

(2) So long as Bidder has complied with the Authenticity Challenge Process, any claim, suit or action, by Bidder concerning an AC or Certification of Authenticity, or related to the authenticity of the item must, without any exception, be brought within one (1) year of Auction Date and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

Section 18

16.5 Other Issues. Any dispute or claim by Bidder against RR Auction (or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors)) other than Authenticity, concerning any item or lot bid upon, or purchased, including value, title, condition, bidding process, or description must be asserted (if at all) in the following manner:

Section 19 Entire Agreement

(1) If the description of any lot in the Catalog is materially or grossly incorrect (e.g., gross cataloging error), or there is any other gross material issue pertaining to the item or lot, the item or lot may be returned if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by RR Auction no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the Auction Date with explanation in writing.. If there is any discrepancy between the description in the Catalog and a certificate of auction, then the description in the certificate of auction (“Lot Challenge Process”). This paragraph shall constitute Bidder’s sole right with respect to the return of items, and no refunds shall be given for any items not returned to and received by RR Auction within the period of time stated herein or not materially or grossly in deviation from the description. Such a refund is subject to RR Auction’s sole discretionary review, and any request for refund must be made concurrently with returning the physical item or lot to RR Auction. Any item not returned within said frame will constitute acceptance of the item and a waiver and release of any and all claims by Bidder pertaining to the item other than with respect to authenticity; and (2) Provided that the Bidder has engaged in the Lot Challenge Process, any claim concerning such must be brought no later than one (1) year of the Auction Date for the item or lot at issue and is subject to the other limitations and conditions stated in the Conditions of Sale.

NO RETURN OR REFUND OF ANY AUCTION LOT WILL BE CONSIDERED OR PROVIDED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BIDDERS OR AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SUCH SHALL BE A COMPLETE DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIMS BY BIDDER RELATED TO THE CONDITIONS OF SALE, ANY AUCTION OR BID. 16.6 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. For any and all claims by Bidder arising out of or related to this Agreement, Bidder’s viewing, bid, or purchase of items, or any agreement between the Parties, or otherwise, Bidder agrees that to the fullest extent such can be limited under the law, Bidder shall have no right to recover and hereby waives any and all rights to recover from against RR Auction or its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, agents, or contractors, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits damages, punitive, exemplary, statutory (or multiplier damages), physical or emotional distress damages, general or special damages of any kind (beyond amounts actually paid by Bidder for item(s) at issue), and in the event of recovery of any damages whatsoever, such shall be limited by the amounts actually paid by Bidder to RR Auction for the item(s) at issue in such claim, or if no money was paid to RR Auction by Bidder for items at issue, or there items are at issue, the amount of $150.00.

Section 17 RR Auction’s Additional Services For Bidders who do not remove purchased property from RR Auction’s premises, RR Auction, in its sole discretion and solely as a service and accommodation to Bidders, may arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded at the sole request, expense, and risk of Bidder.

Headings Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret the substantive sections to which they refer.

Except to the extent Bidder is also a consignor (in which case the terms of the consignment agreement shall also govern), these Conditions of Sale constitute the entire agreement between the Parties together with the terms and conditions contained in the auction Registration Form. They may not be amended, modified or superseded except in a signed writing executed by all parties. No oral or written statement by anyone employed

by RR Auction or acting as agent or representative of RR Auction may amend, modify, waive or supersede the terms herein unless such amendment, waiver or modification is contained in a writing signed by all parties.

If any section of these Conditions of Sale or any term or provision of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, the remaining parts of the agreement and remainder of the sections or terms and provisions of the section and all sections shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

Section 20 Governing Law and Enforcement 20.1 The Parties agree that all agreements between the Parties including but not limited to these Conditions of Sale are entered into in Boston, Massachusetts, no matter where Bidder is situated and no matter by what means or where Bidder was informed of the Auction and regardless of whether catalogs, materials, or other communications were received by Bidder in another location.

20.2 The Parties agree that these Conditions of Sale, any other related agreement(s), along with all claims between the Parties, including those arising out of or related to such are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard for its conflict of laws principles.

In the event that the Parties cannot agree on the selection of the Arbitrator, then the Arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The prevailing Party in the Arbitration shall also recover all of its related fees and costs, whether before or after the formal institution of the Arbitration, including but not limited to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, if RR Auction prevails, such recovery, in addition to all remedies available at agreement or law, shall include the Buyer’s Premium as defined in these Conditions of Sale.

Federal arbitration law, including the Federal Arbitration Act apply to this agreement to arbitrate and its related provisions. The arbitration and all related proceedings shall be held strictly confidential and all documents and discovery shall be held confidential and not used, published or disclosed publically or to anyone outside the Parties or expert consultants or counsel who shall agree to hold such confidential.

20.3 The Parties consent to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all claims between the Parties except as provided specifically herein and may seek confirmation of the decision in the Arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act in any Court

of competent jurisdiction, including the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. To the extent such is necessary under the law, RR Auction may enforce the Arbitration award against Bidder and any related Party in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as RR Auction consenting to jurisdiction or venue in any location outside of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

THE PARTIES MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER AS A CLASS OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLAIMED CLASS, OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE ACTION UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED, THE CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OF THE OTHER CANNOT BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH MORE THAN ONE ADDITIONAL PERSON OR ENTITIES’ CLAIMS. NO INJUNCTIVE OR DECLATORY RELIEF SOUGHT BY BIDDER IF ANY, CAN AFFECT OR BE ORDERED TO AFFECT ANY OTHER BIDDERS OR PERSONS. 20.4 Except as provided specifically in these Conditions of Sale in Bidder’s Remedies against RR Auction (along with its affiliates, directors, agents, officers, employees, and contractors) for any dispute, claim, cause of action related to or arising out of these Conditions of Sale or any other related agreement(s), brought by Bidder must be brought within the earlier of the Auction Date as it pertains to the item(s) at issue or no later than one (1) year of the acts, omissions or circumstances occurred giving rise to the alleged claim, without exception. This provision is intended as a full, complete and absolute bar to and release of any claims by Bidder initiated after one (1) year of such acts, omissions or circumstances. The Parties agree further that these waiver provisions are intended to be binding in the event of any dispute, specifically including but not limited to third party claims and cross-actions brought by Bidder. These provisions are consideration for the execution of these Conditions of Sale.

20.5 To the fullest extent under applicable law and except as specifically stated herein Bidder hereby holds harmless, releases and discharges RR Auction and its agents, officer’s directors, affiliates, successors, and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, damages, causes of action, suits, demands, losses, debts, and expenses of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected existing prior to these Conditions of Sale.

Bidder will also be liable for an additional 20% of such amount to account for additional administrative costs, shipping, additional advertising, and other damages and liabilities fees that are difficult to calculate on an item-by-item basis.

20.8 Indemnity. Bidder agrees to defend, indemnify, hold harmless RR Auction (along with its officers, directors, agents, contractors, and affiliates) from and against any and all claims, costs, fees, damages, and liabilities arising out of or related to these Conditions of Sale, view of items, or lots, bidding, or participation in any auction by RR Auction, and/or or in any way connected to any item you viewed, bid upon or purchased through RR Auction.

Section 21: State-by-State Law Issues This Auction is being conducted in and the sale shall take place in the State of Massachusetts. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, should these

terms and conditions violate the law of any State should that state’s law be found to govern, or any provision herein determined to be invalid, the clause itself and the remainder of the Agreement shall be valid to the fullest extent allowed. Also, to the extent other states law apply to any transaction arising out of the Agreement (without admitting such), RR Auction states: For Residents of California: SALE OF AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLES: AS REQUIRED BY LAW, A DEALER WHO SELLS TO A CONSUMER ANY COLLECTIBLE DESCRIBED AS BEING AUTOGRAPHED MUST PROVIDE A WRITTEN EXPRESS WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF SALE. THIS DEALER MAY BE SURETY BONDED OR OTHERWISE INSURED TO ENSURE THE AUTHENTICITY OF ANY AUTOGRAPHED COLLECTIBLE SOLD BY THIS DEALER. A written express warranty is provided with each autographed collectible, as required by law. This dealer may be surety bonded or otherwise insured to ensure the authenticity of any autographed collectible sold by this dealer.

Section 22 Glossary of Condition terms Information provided to prospective Bidders with respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by RR Auction.

Use of the following terms constitutes an opinion as follows: VERY FINE describes an item believed to be in virtually flawless condition, and is used sparingly for items of exceptionally attractive appearance.

FINE is the most common statement of condition, and applies to most items that we offer. It describes items that we believe to show expected handling wear, generally acceptable random flaws (such as light creases, small bends, etc.), and an overall appearance that is pleasing to the majority of collectors.

VERY GOOD describes an item that we believe exhibits more moderate flaws (such as toning, light staining, professional reinforcements or repairs, etc.). Most collectors would be comfortable with items in very good condition, and this would be the expected condition for many formats (early presidential documents, for example).

GOOD describes an item which we believe to have obvious visible flaws, including heavy wear, missing portions, or repairs that affect appearance; generally items in this condition are offered only if an item is otherwise believed to be exceedingly rare or important.

Bidder may call and request further details and information about RR Auction’s opinions concerning any item via phone or email which shall provided in RR Auction’s discretion.

Certificate of Auction, Certificate of Authenticity and Goods Acquired: Bidder warrants that Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall not purposely deface, destroy, dismember, cut-up into parts the item or Lot purchased at auction from RR Auction and in the event such shall occur whether purposefully or accidently, Bidder (and its agents, assigns, successors, and affiliates) shall refrain from advertising, promoting, or marketing the item as having been purchased from RR Auction and shall in no event display, expressly claim, or imply that the item was certified or auctioned in such state by RR Auction. As liquidated damages for such breach, Bidder agrees to be liable to RR Auction for the greater of the amount of three (3) times the hammer price of the item along with all other fees and costs as otherwise provided in this Terms of Sale.
