elcome to our January 2015 Space & Collectibles Public Auction! This auction will be a little different than previous Space auctions – it will be held live online beginning at 11am (Central Time) on Wednesday January 7, 2015 at our St. Louis gallery. This is prior to the OrcoExpo stamp show in Anaheim, California, where the philatelic sale will be held live (January 10-11). All viewing for Space and Collectibles will take place in St. Louis.

This auction will have both live floor bidding and live online bidding, as well as bids executed by telephone, agent and mail.

Over the years we’ve been fortunate to handle some of the best items found in space and aviation history. This sale is no different!

On August 15-16, 1995, the supersonic jet CONCORDE set a new air speed record by circumnavigating the Earth in 31 hours, 27 minutes. This flight dubbed 'The Flight of Sunchaser II' was specially chartered and arranged by the consignor, Don Pevsner. Lot 25 contains all the unique raw footage tapes and final scripts used for the documentary produced by Television Arts ($50,000$70,000 estimate). Don has literally consigned everything related to this record setting flight including the ORIGINAL charts, maps, menus, DVDs, recordings, etc. These are all UNIQUE Concorde items never before offered (lots 17-28).

Some standout Space items include: a 1960s LR-11 rocket engine used on the X-15 (Lot 30, $12,000-$15,000 estimate); a 1967 Apollo I original gold-plated Spacecraft #012 key presented to Mission Commander Gus Grissom (lot 55, $5,000-$7,000 estimate); a 1969 Apollo 11 Robbins medallion flown to the Moon (lot 60, $10,000-$15.000 estimate); and a highly detailed 1971 Soviet Mars-2 Space Probe Model (Lot 219, $15,000-$20,000 estimate). Or if you prefer a unique Aviation collectible, take a good look at Lot 10, the original Fabric from 1903 Wright Flyer with certification. It’s estimated at $15,000-$20,000.

In Autographs and Historical Documents you’ll find everything from Hollywood celebrities' signatures to those of numerous U.S. presidents. A couple of particular items of note are Lot 231, a 1934 Walt Disney autograph & sketch on Century of Progress Exposition guest register page ($2,000-$3,000 estimate), and an extremely RARE FDR & Churchill 1941 signed cover aboard HMS Prince of Wales telling how the two formulated the 'Atlantic Charter' (Lot 373, estimated at $9,000-$12,000).

In Sports, as always we have a large number of autographed items, and of particular note are a number of Mickey Mantle signed photos plus other autographed items by baseball greats.

As always, viewing and live bidding are available 24/7 at www.RegencySuperior.com Best of luck with your bidding!

Bidding Guidelines for Coins, Sports & Autographs coin CatALOGs

Estimates 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.

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.

ASTRONOMY 1

ZEPPELIN MEMORABILIA

1967 LUNAR ORBITER OVERSIZE PHOTOS OF THE MOON (x10) .................................................. PH $250-350

Ten different oversize (approximately 18"x24") B&W photos taken during NASA-Lunar Orbiter Project-Mission V. Used to plan Apollo landing missions. Other than expected corner and edge dings, very fine condition. Will look wonderful framed.

Quite scarce.

2

1990s HUBBLE TELESCOPE SOLAR PANELS ............................................................................. PH $750-1000

Array of solar cells removed from the Hubble Space Telescope on third servicing mission (specifically mission 3B in 2002).

Group of 12 small cells, each measuring ¾”x1½”, with battery strip between the first and second columns. Presented along with ESA (European Space Agency) text in Dutch, roughly translated: ‘Solar cells included from the 3rd Hubble repair flight./Original Solar cells for electric tension from the Hubble Space Telescope./With middle strip that the flow power from battery.’ Some of the cells have cracks. Hubble Solar cells do not appear on the market often. A rare find indeed!

USA 1¢ postal card uprated with three different stamps, tied with two Los Angeles double ovals, signed by approximately 15 individuals, including Hugo Eckener (simply signed “Eckener’); C.E. Rosendahl, Commander of dozens of Zeppelin fights, as well as crewman on many others; H.V. Wiley, later Commander of Los Angeles and Macon; others. Fresh, very fine. Great addition to any Zeppelin collection.

BALLOONS 3

1914 GERMANY ‘NIEDERSCHLESIEN’ BALLOON FLIGHT CARD ...................................................... PH $700-900

Preprinted balloon postcard with photo of balloon, ‘Niederschlesien,’ printed information on address side. The balloon was piloted by C.R. Mann and ascended July 12, 1914. Card was dropped from balloon, found July 14, 1914, and mailed the same day in Guben, to Penig. Very fine and RARE. 4

1936 ZEPPELIN GAME: ON THE HINDENBURG & GRAF ZEPPELIN TO THE AMERICAS ....... PH $1000-1500

Very rare combined Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg game, when both airships were flying between Germany and the Americas.

Hindenburg flew from March 1936 to May 1937. Game instructions mentions that ‘Graf Zeppelin currently operates mostly to South America and Hindenburg operates mostly to North America’, thus pinpointing game manufacture date to late-1936/early-1937. All airship operations were suspended soon after the Hindenburg disaster at Lakehurst in May 1937.

German game complete with instructions. Playing pieces are metal Zeppelins standing vertically on bases, so zeppelins appear to be floating on air when placed on game board. All playing pieces present with no paint loss. Very glossy colorful graphics on both box lid and game board, depicting flight paths and destinations of the airships. Game box measures (12"x9"), the opened game board is (17"x12½”). Game in outstanding (UNPLAYED) condition.

Addressed cover to Germany from Akron to Chicago then on to Germany franked by USA Scott C18. Copy of note inside envelope claims ‘envelope was autographed by Hugo Eckener while dad and I were passengers on a trip to Germany’ & cover signed on backflap in black by Hugo Eckener.

1930s-70s BALLOON, ZEPPELIN & AVIATION-POST COVERS ASSORTMENT ..................................... PH $500-700

Approximately 115 covers, mostly Balloon-related with a small sampling of Zeppelin and other aviation-post items.

With a take off speed of 220 knots (250mph) and a cruising speed of 1350mph – more than twice the speed of sound – a typical London to New York crossing would take a little less than three and a half hours as opposed to about eight hours for a subsonic flight.

Around-the-World Records Westbound Around-the-World air speed record: 32 hours 49 minutes 3 seconds, set on 12-13 October 1992 in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of Columbus' first New World landing. (Air France Concorde #F-BTSD.) Routing was: Lisbon (LIS) – Santo Domingo (SDQ) – Acapulco (ACA) – Honolulu (HNL) – Guam (GUM) – Bangkok (BKK) – Bahrain (BAH) – Lisbon (LIS).

On this flight, named "SUNCHASER I," the sun never set during the entire journey, as the aircraft outpaced the sun in the air; then lost a bit of time while refueling at six technical-stops.

Eastbound Around-the-World air speed record: 31 hours 27 minutes 49 seconds, set on 15-16 August 1995. (Air France Concorde #F-BTSD.) This flight, named “SUNCHASER II,” was Coors Light Beer's major Summer, 1995 promotion, and followed a routing of: New York (JFK) – Toulouse (TLS) – Dubai (DXB) – Bangkok (BKK) – Andersen AFB – Guam (GUM) – Honolulu (HNL) – Acapulco (ACA) – New York (JFK). The sun rose and set three times between pre-departure and post-landing at JFK. This is the current GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS RTW air speed record.

1971 SOVIET MARS-3 SPACE PROBE MODEL (1:10 SCALE) .............................................. PH $15,000-20,000

Highly detailed large-scale, heavy handmade metal model, with some elements of plastic and resin. Details and accuracy of model are of the highest museum quality. Size without stand 14"x11"x7". Mars 3 was an unmanned space probe of the Soviet Mars program that spanned the years between 1960-73. On Dec 2, 1971, the USSR’s Mars 3 Lander made the first successful landing on the planet’s surface. It transmitted data for 20 seconds before failing. Mars 3 was launched nine days after its twin spacecraft, Mars 2. The probes were identical, each consisting of an Orbiter and an attached Lander. After Mars 2 crash-landed on Mars, Mars 3 became the first spacecraft to attain a soft landing. By coincidence, a particularly large dust storm on Mars adversely affected the mission. When Mariner 9 arrived and successfully orbited Mars on Nov 14, 1971, just two weeks prior to Mars 2 and Mars 3, planetary scientists were surprised to find the atmosphere was thick with ‘a planet-wide robe of dust, the largest storm ever observed.’

The surface was totally obscured. Unable to reprogram the mission computers, both Mars 2 and Mars 3 dispatched their Landers immediately, and the Orbiters used up a significant portion of their available data resources in snapping images of the featureless dust clouds below, rather than the surface mapping intended. The Mars 3 orbiter sent back data covering the period from December 1971 to March 1972, although transmissions continued through August. It was announced that Mars 3 had completed its mission by Aug 22, 1972, after 20 orbits. The images and data enabled creation of surface relief maps and gave information on the Martian gravity and magnetic fields. Model includes stand and in excellent condition.

294 /D 1967-70 HOWARD HUGHES PERSONAL HANDWRITTEN LETTER ABOUT BUYING SILVER SLIPPER CASINO .................................. PH $5000-7000

Autographed letter signed “Howard” on ruled yellow sheet, no place, no date, lightly creased with fold not at signature. Memo is to Howard Hughes’ attorney, Dick Gray, and references acquisition of Silver Slipper casino in Las Vegas. Silver Slipper is only property other than Desert Inn that Hughes personally purchased. Begins “Dick” and in full: “I leave it to you-whichever would be easiest, to form a corp. in a hurry and do the deal in one step, or to it in two steps as we planned. There is one advantage to the latter alternative, this entire transaction is getting a lot of publicity now. I expect every slightest detail of this purchase to be publicized till hell won’t have it. The mention of a dummy corporation-altho(sic) routine to you and me-is just another city-slicker trick-gimmick to the local residents. It is found to arouse curiosity and create suspicion. Later, we could transfer these assets to a corporation, and most likely nobody would ever know about it. I think there is a lot of merit to keeping this transaction which is so much in the publicity spotlight, as simple as humanly possible. As, to summarize, if I can borrow the money personally, then I am in favor of my taking these assets personally-as I did in the case of the D.I. Many thanks, Howard.” Also accompanied by photo of Hughes. Rare peek into Hughes’ business thinking processes that granted him so much success. Very fine condition. Ex-Dr.Lonnie Hammargren collection.

Interesting enough, one of the seven handwritten letters is a card with a old cigar label reprint sticker on front. At least one is four handwritten pages.

D 1944 LETTER TO GOEBBELS REGARDING V1, V2 ROCKETS, FORWARDED TO HITLER ...... PH $1000-1500

Original two-page letter (front and back, 6"x8¼”), dated Dec 6, 1944, addressed to Reichsminister Goebbels in Berlin. Letter was likely forwarded to Hitler for review, as it was recovered after the war from the Reich Chancellery, rather than Reich Ministry (as documented by accom panying paperwork). Letter requests if it would be possible that after the V1 and V2 rockets have shown the Allies the superiority of the weapon, the people of Germany should be addressed (to be overheard by England), that if the Allies stop their aggressive bombing of Germany, Germany would stop bombing England (as it is only being done as a retaliatory measure). Full documentation of letter accompanies, as does full translation and original transmittal cover, which is addressed directly to Goebbels (Registered, from Oranienburg-Eden). Very rare with great content. Fine

Handwritten letter from famed World War II general who, though surrounded, replied to order of surrender by German forces with simple ‘Nuts!’ Letter dated Dec 29, 1969, on embossed ‘General A.C. McAuliffe 2101 Connecticut Avenue Washington, D.C. 20008’ stationery, with grand content regarding the Boy Scouts, in part: ‘...I was never a Scout, although I have always greatly admired the organization and contribute to it. My son still cherishes his merit badges and the skills which they represent. He loves the outdoors, is accomplished in woodcraft and camping and appreciative of nature. All this he learned as a Scout, and I have learned much from him...he is also a clean liver with high moral principles...’

Very fine signed letter with premium content.

1939 NAZI WEHRMACHT GAME: UNITED AGAINST THE ENEMY .......................... PH $500-700

Rare German anti-England board game from 1940 titled “The Paratrooper Game”. Made while the Battle of Britain was going on, stylized depiction of a predicted invasion of Britain by Nazi paratroopers. Game box shows the infamous Luftwaffe paratrooper transport plane Junkers Ju-52, with Wehrmacht paratroopers descending into England. Highly unusual game with two Ju-52’s releasing paratrooper playing pieces onto the English landscape. Paratrooper pieces weighted in such a way that they always land feet first. Depending on the accuracy of the landings, points are awarded. Game made soon after Battle of Britain had begun. Not only represents the reality of wartime, but also reflects aspirations of Hitler and the Wehrmacht for invading England. Game instructions claim “Through Battle To Victory”. Since all such material was destroyed after the war, this game is scarce. Very colorful painted graphics, measures 11"x11". Game in excellent condition.

A German game from 1939, “United Against the Enemy”, based on various military components of the German Wehrmacht Army. Game made soon after WWII commenced. Glossy multi-colored game board has detailed graphics showing Nazi soldier formations, Panzers, Luftwaffe fighter planes, artillery, and weapons like machine guns and rifles, all used to attack enemy lines and positions. Instructions claim players should be proud of use of this “modern weaponry”. Box has glossy painted graphics, measures 12"x9". Game board opens to 17"x11½”. Game complete with instructions, and in excellent condition. Was given to both soldiers and youth, a rare surviving example of their Nazi indoctrination. Since virtually all such material was destroyed after the war, this game truly scarce.

417

1940s THIRD REICH NAZI ANTI-SEMITIC BOARD GAME ................................................................ PH $1500-2500

Rare item from 1942. In this board game, German soldiers undergo training in a step-by-step process. After being given orders, they see action in which a house is set ablaze, and they take a civilian prisoner with facial characteristics that would be identifiable to Germans as Jewish. Such caricature had already been used heavily by the Nazi regime for many years, and thus such imagery would be readily recognized by the German population, including youth. The depiction of this prisoner, including facial characteristics, in strong contrast to that of the other “Germans” depicted in the game. The soldiers are shown being rewarded for their act, by getting “vouchers” and being given “furlough” pass by commanding officer. Game measures 13"x8". An incredibly rare example of the extent of the anti-Semitic propaganda and campaign of Hitler and the Nazi Party. In excellent condition.

419

1940 NAZI WEHRMACHT WWII GAME: PANZER TANK FORWARD! ................................................ PH $500-700

A 1940 board game depicting the supremacy of Wehrmacht Panzers in battle, titled “Panzer Tank Forward!” Beautiful painted Panzer graphics on cover, and multicolored detailed battle graphics on game board with Panzers overcoming opposition and claiming new lands. Game was for both soldiers and youth, and thus a very rare surviving example of their Nazi indoctrination. Made soon after WWII had begun, it furthers concept of German superiority over the enemy, especially with respect to Tank Corps. Game complete with instructions, in excellent condition. Since virtually all such material was destroyed after the war, this game truly scarce.

Box is 14"x10", opened game board is 17"x11½”.
