The Manned Space Program offers much, including a Lake Champlain Prime Recovery Ship cover from Alan Shepard’s Mercury mission (Lot 51) . Our Gemini section includes an early Titan 1 Rocket Flight Certified Gearbox & Solenoid (lot 67), along with many great autographed items from Grissom, White and others. Apollo, as always, has many strong items, including a Saturn I S-IV Second Stage Fuel Tank Vent & Relief Valve among other parts, plus major autographed items starting with an Apollo 1 (Grissom, White & Chaffee) signed glossy color photo (Lot 149), an Apollo 11 Armstrong and complete crew signed items. A Flown flag & Flown patch from Apollo 14 are also present (Lots 209 & 210).

David M. Kols President Alan Lipkin Senior Vice President

In the Shuttle program, we have a nice set of matching covers, each signed individually by the 1986 Challenger crew, shortly before it exploded (Lot 263). The Soviet program section contains many better autographs, including a nice Gagarin document (Lot 347), and much more. Better cover collections and many lots of interesting photos are also present. An interesting and valuable group of French Area die-sunk Artist Proofs is included (Lots 367-381). In the Models section is a handmade wooden model of a Rocketdyne AR2-3 rocket engine that was used in the three NF-104A class supersonic aerospace trainers (Lot 384). Another model is a 1967 Soviet Venera-4 1:10 scale, of museum quality, made in the same plant that made the actual spacecraft (Lot 385).

For many of us who lived through them, the moment JFK was shot in 1963 and the day Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon are both frozen in time. We are pleased to be able to offer quite a bit of significant material related to John F. Kennedy, as we mark the 50th anniversary of his assassination this fall. You’ll find a small Kennedy section under “Presidents,” including original teletypes, autographs and more (Lots 735-746).

Thomas Jozwik Donnis J. Willis Consignor Relations

When we acquired Signature House from founder Gil Griggs last year, we made the commitment to aggressively build our Autographs and Documents section. While Gil is no longer with us (he passed away this spring), we continue to move forward with this important area and continue to turn up some amazing pieces.

Cathy R. Skinner Auction Manager Lisa Pettibone Accounting

Two extremely significant items in our historical documents section dwarf all others and are at polar ends of the historical spectrum. Lot 710 (est. $20,000-$30,000) is an 8-page handwritten document written by disillusioned domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh from his prison cell. By direct contrast is Lot 711 (est. $20,000-$30,000), an original, handwritten draft of a classified ad placed by George Washington, offering a reward for the recovery of two of his indentured servants – convicts who were functionally slave labor. Even more interesting is the fact the servants ran off the day after the battle of Lexington & Concord was fought!

Yvonne Jo Glasgow Nina Petteys Anya Wynne Graphic Designers Ron Brinkman Peter van Leth Joey Monasterios Zachary Stallworth Administration

Other items of interest include several signed or initialed original Ansel Adams prints (Lots 400-403), an original Elvis Presley Sun Records pressing of “That’s All Right” (Lot 445), a check written and signed by Gen. George Custer 6 days before leaving for his new assignment in the Dakotas (Lot 457) and even a picture postcard signed by Oskar Schindler (Lot 546).

Dorothy Youngblood Stanley Gibbons Products Manager

In Sports, there are several goodies, but of particular note is a 1934 Pittsburgh Pirates ball (Lot 765), signed by many members including Honus Wagner!

Bidding Guidelines for Coins, Sports & Autographs ESTIMATES

COIN CATALOGS

In addition to the catalog value, 'estimates' are listed for each lot. You will find the estimates more reflective of the current market, and what you can reasonably expect to pay for a lot. You may, of course, bid higher or lower than the estimates. You may also speak with a lot describer for a more detailed description of a particular lot. Please call at least 72 hours prior to the sale (the earlier, the better). Remember, a Public Auction is not an approval service, lots are not returnable unless misdescribed.

The current editions of Whitman's Official Red Books for Coins (Yeoman) and Paper Money (Friedberg) along with the Krause Publications are used for valuation and identification purposes.

LIMITS You may limit your total purchases by simply indicating the amount on your bidding form. This way, for example, you can bid on $5,000 worth of lots, but limit your purchases to $1,000. Remember that all lots are sold in lot number order. Bids on specially desired lots over and beyond your limit may be added to your purchase if you indicate they are to be excluded from your limit.

'OR' BIDS You may bid on several similar lots with the assurance that you will purchase only one of them. Simply place an 'OR' between the bids submitted on the lots involved, and we will buy the first 'OR' lot for you, and void the rest. Remember that all lots are sold in lot number order, so you may not indicate a preference for one lot over another.

SPORTS CATALOGS The current editions of Krause’s Sports Collectors Digest’s Standard Catalogs, Tuff Stuff Monthly, PSA’s Sports Market Report, and Beckett publications are used for valuation purposes.

Regency-Superior, Ltd.

The Property described in this catalog is offered at Public Auction by Regency-Superior, Ltd (hereinafter referred to as ‘Auctioneer’), on behalf of various consignors and itself. Regency-Superior is a licensed auctioneer. The placing of a bid shall constitute acceptance of all the Terms of Sale in their entirety: 1. Bidding All lots are sold to the highest bidder at one advance over the second highest bid (or the opening minimum bid), plus a 19% buyer's premium. In the case of tie bids, the first bid received shall prevail. Bids may be made in person on the auction floor, by mail, telephone, fax, website, email, or by agent.

Please call at least 72 hours prior to the sale (1-800782-0066). 2. Bid Cancellations will only be accepted up to one hour prior to the sale. The Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any misdescribed lot. The right is reserved to reject bids, which in the Auctioneer's opinion, are not offered in good faith. 3.

Overseas bidders are responsible for any custom duties and taxes imposed by their respective country. Proof of receipt of a shipment at the advised address shall constitute delivery. Title shall not pass to the buyer until full payment is received. A late payment charge of 2% per month will be imposed on all past due accounts over 30 days. If collection of any balance due requires legal action, the bidder is responsible for all legal fees incurred. 5. Expertization Extensions All lots are sold as genuine, unless otherwise noted. Lots accompanied by an Expert Certificate (COA) shall not be subject to re-certification if issued within the past 10 years. The following conditions apply to requests for expertization: a) the lot must be paid in full; b) the lot must be submitted by either the Auctioneer or the bidder to an expertizing authority recognized by the Auctioneer within 21 days of the sale; c) if submitted by the bidder, bidder must notify Auctioneer and send a copy of the application form to the Auctioneer; d) if submitted by the Auctioneer, the COA fee plus a $10 per lot handling fee and shipping costs to and from the expertizing service will be charged to the buyer; e) any expenses incurred shall be borne by the buyer, except the Auctioneer shall be responsible for a full refund of the expertization charges if an adverse opinion is rendered; f) Lots may NOT be returned due to 'grading' since it is highly subjective; g) lots submitted for certification will be considered cleared 90 days from the date of the sale, unless written notification is received otherwise.

Shipping and Handling Charges are based upon the actual cost of packaging, insurance and shipping. Delicate or breakable items require additional packaging and may cost more, especially if professional crating is required. Shipping charges depend upon your location and an estimate can be given when accompanied by your Zipcode or Country. Most bulky shipments to destinations within the USA are sent via UPS. We try to combine multiple items to reduce shipping & packing costs. 8. Returns & Refunds Every effort has been made to describe lots accurately. Any lot described incorrectly must be returned intact within 7 days of receipt. Photo illustrations may not be to scale, and in no case constitute an incorrect description.

Armstrong’s photo found in several other places in the yearbook, including page 44 (band officers), page 45 (band), page 52 (Senior Hi-Y Club), page 57 (Student Council, twice), and page 65 (‘Retrospect’ Staff). Quite a leader, even in high school. Yearbook condition overall is good with some aging, coloring by former owner and a few underclassman images cut out (none from any Armstrong pages). But, again, Armstrong’s autograph page is crisp, clean and very fine. Only a handful of these from this small Ohio high school have ever turned up. A very key item for the serious Apollo collection!

STAMPS, SIGNED ARTIST DIE PROOFS —

The following 15 lots are all signed artist die proofs from the 1970s and ‘80s. Each lot contains between 2-4 monocolor engraved die proofs of the same design (in different colors), pulled from the non-hardened final master die after the engraver finished his work, but before printing plates were created for production. Each was hand-pulled on a small press on thick, high-quality paper and bears the official blind-embossed control mark of the printer. Most of these items were produced in quantities of 20 or fewer. Of these, black is the most common, with only 2-3 of each of any other colors produced. The artist or engraver has signed each in pencil within the die-sunk area. Virtually all stamp issues from France and all former territories and colonies have been produced in various proof forms.

1963-71 NF-104A AEROSPACE TRAINER AR2-3 ROCKET ENGINE MODEL ................... PH $1000-1500

Handmade wooden model of a Rocketdyne AR2-3 rocket engine that was used in the three NF-104A class supersonic aerospace trainers that were made, to serve as a low cost alternative to the X-15. The AR2-3 rocket was not the main engine, but mounted directly below the horizontal stabilizer on the NF-104A and provided 6,000 pounds of thrust for altitudes around 100,000 feet. Of the three aircraft that were made, one was destroyed in a test flight by Chuck Yeager and was subsequently made famous in the movie ‘The Right Stuff’. Model expertly lathed and crafted in detail and measures 16" in length and 10" in height, and mounted on a 22" long oval metal base so the model can be spun 360 degrees on its horizontal axis. A couple loose parts that can be easily glued back into position. A crack runs along the engine housing, but it may be just a crack in the paint. Also some cracks in a couple of the components. A small part missing on the underside that cannot be readily seen. Since this was hand crafted, this very well may be unique.

Measures 15½” tall with the base, and 17" when the panels are spread. The 8"x8" base is solid oak and incorporated with the model.

1954 ELVIS PRESLEY SUN RECORD ‘THAT’S ALL RIGHT’ ........................................ PH $1500-2000

This version features ‘Wabash Music Co. BMI’ on the A side, and ‘Peer BMI’ on the B side. Presley’s version of Arthur Crudup’s song was recorded July 5, 1954, and was released July 19. During an uneventful recording session at Sun Studios, Presley, Scotty Moore and Bill Black were taking a break between recordings. Presley began fooling around with an up-tempo version of ‘That’s All Right.’ Black joined on his upright bass and then Moore on guitar. Shocked by the sound, producer Sam Phillips asked them start again so he could record it. Upon finishing the recording, according to Moore, Black remarked, ‘Damn. Get that on the radio and they’ll run us out of town.’ The rest, as they say, is history. This is one of the most sought after of all records. Bonus record: Scarce soft Elvis Presley, ‘The Truth About Me,’ 7" 78 RPM (from special 1956 Elvis magazine). Very fine and quite scarce this nice.

The 7th Cavalry had been assigned to Elizabethtown, KY, fighting the Ku Klux Klan, bushwhackers and closing down illegal distilleries. The post was terminated after the 7th left on March 7, 1873. Check is payable to W.J. Mulholland, who then assigned payment to Thomas, Polk & Co., a bank (on reverse). Barely noticeable spindle cancel near center and heavy ink bleedthrough from endorsements, but Custer’s signature still plainly visible. Stamp has been reaffixed.

Joseph Pulitzer signed proxy appointing general manager of his ‘New York World’ to vote his shares at a meeting of ‘stockholders of the Pulitzer Publishing Company of St Louis Missouri...’ Partly printed document signed ‘Joseph Pulitzer,’ 1 page (8"x6¾”), New York, Jan 15, 1901, completed in manuscript and notarized, fine. Pulitzer founded ‘St Louis Post-Dispatch’ in 1878 and continued to own and publish it until his death. Proxy is significant; he did not sign much as his eyesight declined.

SPAIN 1534 FRANCISCO PIZARRO ‘RUBRIC’ SIGNATURE .................................. PH $7500-10,000

Pizarro’s signature, a rubric, written twice on 3¾”x2¾” paper removed from larger sheet. Place and date, ‘Jauja - 1534,’ ostensibly obtained from original document, was penned circa 19th century. Spectrographic analysis shows ink of signature differs from ink of the place/year notation. Composition of paper identifies it as the type of paper used in 16th-century Peru. Included for comparison is an unrelated 1574 Peruvian manuscript document penned on laid paper, granting power of attorney to sell slaves. Other than being produced with a laid pattern, both the 1534 and 1574 sheets of paper are similarly composed of linen rag and hemp fiber, commonly used in 16th century Peru. Spectrographic analysis reveals similarity between the papers. In April 1534, Pizarro established Jauja as Peru’s provisional capital, a year before he founded Lima. Pizarro’s rubric offered here was signed in Jauja in 1534. Historian J. Lockhart writes that Pizarro ‘never learned to sign his name, but by the early 1520s he began to make a rubric, and all known documents issued by him until his death contain that rubric’.

General Nelson A. Miles, in command of Fort Monroe, reports that ‘the prisoner “Davis” is feeling quite comfortable this morning... I do not think it possible for him to escape, even if the sentinels are taken out of the front room, he will still be under two locks, aside from the Guard in front of his cell.’ Autograph Letter Signed ‘Nelson A. Miles’ as ‘Bvt Maj Gen U.S. Vols / Comdg Dist.,’ two conjoined pages, 7¾”x9¾”, ‘Head Quarters Military District, Fort Monroe, August 22, 1865.’ Ink stain at top right of first page. Expertly strengthened on verso at folds, fine. An excerpt from ‘Prison Life of Jefferson Davis’ by John J. Craven, Davis’ physician during his confinement at Fort Monroe from May to December of 1865, reveals more. ‘The procession into the fort was simple though momentous ... First came Major-General Miles holding the arm of Mr. Davis, who was dressed in a suit of plain Confederate grey, with a grey slouched hat – always thin, and now looking much wasted and very haggard. ... Mr. Davis was shown into casemate No. 2...guards of soldiers being stationed in the cells numbered 1, 3, and 5, upon each side of them. They entered; the heavy doors clanged behind them, and in that clang was rung the final knell of the terrible, but now extinct, rebellion.’ Full transcript of letter and complete book excerpt accompany.

710 /D 1998 TIMOTHY MCVEIGH’S HANDWRITTEN ‘ESSAY ON HYPOCRISY’ ............................................................... PH $20,000-30,000 Extremely significant and pivotal piece of handwritten American history regarding Timothy McVeigh and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Cover letter and essay handwritten on 8 pages of legal-size canary notepad paper, with two signatures, as well as original hand-addressed transmittal cover to consignor with official markings from the federal maximum-security prison in Florence, Colo., where McVeigh sat on death row. Dated March 1998 and published in the June 1998 edition of ‘Media Bypass’ magazine, the essay sparked an international media storm, as it marked the first time McVeigh publicly discussed the attack and questioned the U.S. government’s regard for innocent civilian lives, regardless of nationality. ‘The truth is,’ McVeigh wrote, ‘the U.S. has set the standard when it comes to the stockpiling and use of weapons of mass destruction... Whether you wish to admit it or not, when you approve, morally, of the bombing of foreign targets by the U.S. military, you are approving of acts morally equivalent to the bombing in Oklahoma City.’ In his cover letter, McVeigh wrote that the essay was ‘written to provoke thought, and was not written with malevolent intent.’ Despite his ‘doubt that any mainstream media would touch it,’ the Associated Press dispatched the essay worldwide, resulting in global headlines on May 29, 1998. It stands as the ‘go-to’ piece referenced whenever McVeigh is discussed, for example, by author Gore Vidal (‘Vanity Fair,’ September 2001), ‘The Meaning of Timothy McVeigh.’ The preface also finds McVeigh apologizing for the handwritten letter, noting his ‘current (unique) environment does not provide access to a typewriter, a word processor or a copier (hell, I’m lucky they let me have a pen!).’ On April 19, 1995, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City was destroyed by the worst domestic terrorist attack in U.S. history. The bombing claimed 168 lives and injured more than 680 people. Within 90 minutes, the decorated Army veteran of Operation Desert Storm was stopped for driving without a license plate and arrested for unlawfully carrying a weapon. McVeigh and co-conspirator Terry Nichols were quickly linked to the attack through forensic evidence. McVeigh timed the bombing to arrive on the second anniversary of the federal government’s deadly assault on a religious compound near Waco, Texas. As a result of McVeigh’s actions, Congress passed the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, which tightened the law of habeas corpus in the United States, as well as legislation designed to increase protection of federal buildings. The bombing also resulted in the death, by lethal injection, of McVeigh on June 11, 2001. This original document reveals much of McVeigh’s chilling, but logical, thought process. Lot also accompanied by ‘Media Bypass’ edition in which the essay appeared, and McVeigh’s clippings of nuclear devastation in Japan and terrified children fleeing napalm bombing in Vietnam. Very fine museum piece. UNIQUE. (800) 782-0066 • www.RegencySuperior.com

Of historical note, William Webster, a convict, was indentured for 7 years, beginning in 1774, primarily to work at Washington’s holdings on the Ohio River under overseer Valentine Crawford. Almost immediately after being purchased the previous March, Webster escaped & was brought back in late April 1774. He apparently escaped again. Also of note, Washington’s account book shows he advanced money on April 20, 1775, to Thomas Allison ‘in pursuit of Servts.’ It also shows three reward payments on the 29th for runaway servants, one each to William Johnson & Thomas Johnson & a third unnamed, presumably the recipient noted on verso being paid $8. Washington is well known to have had an uneasy conscience with regard to his slaves, whom he freed in his will. The same surely did not apply to indentured servants such as Webster & Spears, convicts who had forfeited their own liberty & would be released from service after 7 years. Spears was a joiner and Webster a brick-maker. One of the more interesting historical pieces we’ve seen for some time! Housed in presentation frame. Los Angeles, California

President Jackson penned vertically along the left edge: ‘Allen - To be / sent back to him.’ He wrote 3 words into the postmark. ‘Allen’ was ostensibly the sender and most likely a government official as his letter was FREE-franked. In March 1817, Congress passed an act establishing the Territory of Alabama. Tuscumbia was surveyed and laid out as a city by Gen John Coffee who had fought under Gen Andrew Jackson in Battle of New Orleans and was his partner in land purchases. That same year, a battalion of United States soldiers arrived at Tuscumbia and began work of cutting out a new wagon road from Nashville, Tenn, to Columbus, Miss, called the Military Road.
