Welcome to our January 2014 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 15, 2014 at our St. Louis galleries. This is prior to the OrcoExpo stamp show in Anaheim, California where the philatelic sale will be held live (January 18-19th). 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. This will also be the first sale where California bidders will not have to pay sales tax! 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, with 300 interesting lots of Space & Aviation alone, and an additional 600 lots of Historical Autographs, Documents, Judaica, Political, Sports and more. In Space & Aviation, hardware seems to be of increasing interest. Several standout items include: a 1940s Allison J35-A33 jet engine (Lot 8, $40,000 estimate); an XLR-11 rocket engine (Lot 28, $20,000 estimate); an XLR-99 rocket engine (Lot 29, $35,000 estimate); and, an early Soviet Surface-to-Air rocket engine (Lot 36, $10,000 estimate). Or maybe you’d prefer a spacesuit. We have one of those as well. Lot 219 is a late 1970s-era Soviet ‘Orlan-D’ EVA (extra-vehicular activity) suit, estimated at $30,000. If you prefer your space collectibles to be a bit smaller, you may wish to take a look at Lot 177, 10k gold flown Robbins medal, one of only 3 in existence. It’s estimated at only $2,000-$3,000. We’re very fortunate to be able to present an intriguing group of unusual nautical material, which includes everything from actual life preservers from a number of seagoing vessels and other memorabilia to an actual piece of coal from the ‘Titanic’ (Lot 426), and a fan from the ill-fated ‘Lusitania.’ (Lot 423). In Autographs and Historical Documents, you’ll find everything from signatures from celebrities including Sally Rand, Charlie Chaplin, Jayne Mansfield and Barbra Streisand to signatures from numerous U.S. presidents, including a fascinating little Christmas gift card signed by FDR to the woman who would become his personal secretary, with ‘Mrs. Roosevelt” scratched out (Lot 794, estimated at $3,000-$4,000). A couple of particular items of note are Lot 638, a uniformed War-time cartes-de-visite photograph of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, signed at the bottom (est. $5,000), and an archive of four signed letters from Union General William T. Sherman, near the end of his life (Lot 646, estimated at $5,000-$7,000). Of more recent vintage is a two-page handwritten letter from 1961, penned by Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, during his years in the Soviet Union (Lot 745, estimated at $10,000-$15,000). In Sports, as always we have a large number of autographed items, but of particular note (from the Webb School) are a number of first-day and other covers, autographed by baseball greats. As always, viewing and live bidding are available 24/7 at www.RegencySuperior.com.

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.

sports CatALOGs

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.

Outstanding XLR-99 restartable liquid propellant rocket engine nozzle for use in the North American X-15 experimental aircraft, flown by such men as Neil Armstrong, Scott Crossfield and Joe Engle. This one has definitely been fired. Developed by the Reaction Motors Division of Thiokol for North American, it was the first large man-rated rocket engine that could be throttled and with restart ability, and could deliver 57,000 pounds of thrust. Using this engine, the X-15 set many speed and altitude records in the 1960s. This engine measures about five feet in overall length with end exhaust diameter of 30", and weighs approximately 200 pounds. Similar to the one sold in our Jan 2012 Auction, but missing the injector assembly. During the X-15 program, 13 different flights by eight pilots met the USAF spaceflight criterion by exceeding the altitude of 50 miles thus qualifying the pilots for astronaut status. A remarkable and historical rocket engine. (Shipped F.O.B. from Los Angeles, CA, subject to export permit)

1957-60 SOVIET SURFACE-TO-AIR ROCKET ENGINE ....................................................................................................... PH $10,000-15,000

Liquid propellant sustainer power plant, designed by rocket engine designer Alexei M. Isayev. Measures approximately 39x14x14", weighs about 140lb crated. Constructed of various alloys with various inspection marks, appears unfired. Alexei Isayev specialized in small-scale, liquid-fueled rocket engines for Soviet manned and unmanned spacecraft. From 1957 to 1967 his engines powered rockets carrying the first artificial satellites, the first man in space, and the first unmanned probes to the Moon and Venus. At the same time, in the 1950s, he was working on engines for surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) and air-to-sea missiles. The present engine is for a S-75 Dvina, a high-altitude, command-guided SAM, and it has become the most widely-deployed air defense missile in history. The missile came to the world’s attention when it shot down the U-2 spy plane of Francis Gary Powers as he was flying over the Soviet Union on May 1, 1960. Technically S-75 refers to the complete battery, the missile itself being known as a V-750. The missile is in two stages, consisting of a solid-fuel booster and a storable liquid-fuel upper stage. The booster fires for about 4 to 5 seconds and the main engine for about 22 seconds, by which time the missile is traveling at about Mach 3. The present engine is from the upper stage. This rocket engine is a version of the high-power rocket needed to reach the high-altitude U-2 spy planes. An important artifact of the Cold War, don’t know of any other in private hands!

Described in ‘Russian Spacesuits’ by Abramov and Skoog (2003), ‘this semi-rigid spacesuit was a modification of the original ORLAN spacesuit (only 11 test/training suits developed) which was designed to support crew member EVA from the orbiting Moon space vehicle as part of the N1-L3 program. The original ORLAN suit type was never used in flight.’ The Life Support System (LSS) was of regenerative type, including exchangeable components. According to ‘Russian Spacesuits’, power supply, radio communication & telemetry were via a 20m electric umbilical, which also served as safety tether. Suit has a further safety tether with snap hook. Only 27 test and training models and 7 flight models of the Orlan-D were made. This particular spacesuit was used for display & training and its outer cover layer has been removed. This way, the Life Support inner components that made the suit functional are exposed for view. There is an engraved ‘Orlan-D’ on the inside lip of the backpack. Additionally, there is an accompanying green carrying bag for this suit. Museum quality, perfect for the finest space memorabilia collections. Saint Louis, Missouri

1930s-40s VINTAGE PHOTOS OF EXOTIC DANCER MOZELLE BY BERNARD, AUTREY, REED ....... PH $400-600

Forty (40) vintage original 8"x10" photographs featuring Parisian Moulin Rouge performer Mozelle, famous for bringing her exotic ‘Dance of the Captive’ state-side during the 1930s and 40s. Photos taken by famous Hollywood photographers like Bruno Bernard, Maurice Seymour, John E. Reed and Max Munn Autrey. These are incredibly rare images, not found online – Mozelle herself is barely mentioned on the internet, and only as a vintage newspaper blurb from 1941. Interestingly, one of these photos has Mozelle’s face surrounded by a dozen or so contemporary headlines heralding her arrival in the states. Some duplications: 25 distinct photos of Mozelle, along with another half-dozen with an unknown male co-star. Photos range in condition, with a couple that are trimmed, but a few of these, especially the Autreys, are Very Fine. Is Mozelle awaiting a re-discovery?

Many of the inscriptions carry longer messages beyond the normal ‘best wishes’.

Interestingly, the older the photo in this group the better condition. Although the total photos exceeds 65, more than 20 are the same unknown actor. Interesting collection. Stellar stuff!

Small archive of 4 long family letters (multi-page folded letters) written 1839-44 to Charles Burnham, manager of Hawaii’s first sugar plantation, mailed from Tolland, CT, to Kauai, Sandwich Islands. Letters, two from his mother and one each from sisters Mary and Emeline, discuss everything from religion, ‘I have lately read in the paper that the Roman Catholics are building a Chapel in Honolulu, which news I am very sorry to hear... ...I have thought that if you ever arrived there your hearts would be rejoiced in view of what God had done for the poor heathen...’, to local and national news to news of the death of one of his sisters (Emeline). There is much to be explored. Charles Burnham and his wife arrived in Hawaii April 27, 1839, and took over the operation May 6. Burnham remained as plantation manager for five years. Each letter has MS ‘Tolland’ marking, no receiving marks. Some small faults.

They were close in age to his own daughters. Text reads, in part, ‘I have not seen you all day. I hope this has not made you as sad as it has me...Tomorrow I shall be engaged all the m[orni]ng...If you wish to be present, I will send the wagon & can then see you on the ground at intervals at least.

Germany, World War II – Militaria, cont. GERMAN, TOBACCO CARDS 708

Very rare German Third Reich board game from 1941, titled ‘We go Against England.’ Subtitle is ‘a new Wargame about our U-Boat Forces.’ Box cover shows photograph of actual German U-Boat (flying swastika flag). Game was made soon after hostilities against England had begun. Since virtually all such material was destroyed after the war, game is scarce. Colorful game board depicts full-scale naval attack by German Wehrmacht on Britain. Game cards name all the (real) British destroyers, cruisers and warships to be attacked. Instructions and all playing pieces (3 U-boats and 3 Luftwaffe planes) are present. Game box measures 15"x11", and opened game board is 21"x15".

Scarce early Third Reich game from 1934, a year after Hitler’s rise to power. Game has very lengthy inscription on history of Germany and current state. As players make their way from Berlin to other parts of Germany, text extols the history of each region and city, mentioning famous Germans and major events. Official map of Germany is on board, but a second border extends outside the German border. These constitute the ‘lost lands,’ areas Germany lost to neighboring countries in the aftermath of WWI. These areas are proclaimed as German and are to be visited by players just as easily as Germany. Game is outstanding example of early Nazi propaganda, furthering concept of ‘Greater Germany.’ Board folds into 9"x12" envelope, which could be mailed, and has the instructions printed on the back. Board unfolds to very large 30"x23" and looks UNUSED. Envelope also in excellent condition. Fine. 712

Rare 1942 ‘Enemy Airplanes in Sight’ game, which shows response of the Luftwaffe and German city dwellers to an Allied air raid against their city. Beautiful painted graphics.

Meant to be instructive, game shows citizens putting out bomb fires, turning lights off during black-out, sheltering in well-stocked underground air raid shelters, wearing gas masks and using stretchers to aid the wounded, finally pointing to Luftwaffe planes in the sky with admiration.

Rare handwritten letter (8"x10") by Washington Jail Warden John S. Crocker, declining request by New York sheriff to witness the execution of Charles Guiteau. Extremely fine content to E.P. Higgins, Sheriff of Steuben County, NY. Tear at top margin crudely repaired on verso, small closed tear at ‘s’ in ‘Warden’s Office,’ light marginal wear at folds.

Guiteau’s imprisonment was overseen by Gen John S. Crocker, a New York lawyer and state legislator who, during the Civil War, commanded a rifle regiment, spent time in Confederate prison camps and was wounded 4 times before being discharged as Brigadier General. It was Crocker who led the condemned prisoner to the scaffold. Letters from Crocker are uncommon. Scarce & fine. (Accompanied by complete transcript of letter and University Archives LOA)

She moved in with him at Wheatland, helped raise Buchanan’s niece while he was away from Lancaster and shared the duties of White House hostess with her for a short time in 1857. Fine.

Original November 1844 poll book (69½”x15½”) for Waynesville county, Ill. Election was held ‘for the purpose of electing president and vice president of the United States’. Abraham Lincoln’s name listed among those out campaigning for Whig candidate Henry Clay. During October 1844, a 35-year-old Lincoln made political speeches in Vincennes, Washington, Rockport, Carter Township, Gentryville, Booneville and Evansville. Of these, the only record of this unknown politician’s speeches was an announcement in the Nov 1, 1844, ‘Rockport Herald’: ‘Mr. Lincoln of Springfield, Illinois, addressed a large and respectable audience at the court house on Wednesday evening last, upon Whig policy. His main argument was directed in pointing out the advantages of a Protective Tariff. He handled the subject in a manner that done honor to himself and the Whig cause.’ Document understandably weak at fold points, but extremely important glimpse at the nearly erased early career of Lincoln. Good. (University Archives LOA) 778

792 /D 1930 FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT GUBERNATORIAL LETTER TO AUTOGRAPH SEEKER ................ PH $900-1200

Fascinating typed, signed letter (7¼”x9") on New York Executive chamber letterhead. Letter written to H.M. Brehm, well-known stamp collector and designer of 1930 ‘APPLEton’ fancy cancel in response to query about Teddy Roosevelt autographs. Letter signed ‘Franklin D. Roosevelt’ in dark ink. It reads: ‘I wish much that I could find for you an autograph of Theodore Roosevelt when he was Governor but I fear there are none here in Albany except those all affixed to official letters and documents. As you probably know, the personal correspondence of Governors is taken with them when they leave office. I am returning this extremely interesting cover. You must have a fine collection. Very sincerely yours, (signed) Franklin D. Roosevelt.’ This almost certainly refers to Brehm’s fancy cancel. Stationery has gold embossed seal of New York above ‘State of New York Executive Chamber Albany’ printed across the top. Extremely fine. (University Archives LOA).

Roosevelt’s election as Governor, she moved to Albany and became assistant to FDR’s personal secretary, Marguerite ‘Missy’ Le Hand.

Typed Letter, one page (8"x10½”) on United States Senate letterhead, May 21, 1954. Not signed. Letter to Charles J. Lewin, Editor, ‘The Standard-Times,’ New Bedford, Mass., two file holes in upper blank margin. Kennedy rejects letter for unknown reasons. Partial text follows: ‘I do not think that anyone reasonably could say that the Congress was niggardly in appropriating this $91 million when it is noted that such a program would be several millions more than the air mail and subsidy payments in 1948 which was the first year when a Congressional Committee advocated a reform of the air mail subsidy program. You have performed a very fine public service in bringing this expensive item to the attention of the taxpayers who after all are the ones who have to pay the bill.’ Letter was never signed or mailed. There are no mailing folds. Sen. Kennedy penned an enormous ‘No’ on the text, with long underline. Full transcript and University archives accompany this interesting lot. Very fine.

This card was then affixed to a First Day Cover commemorating a Jackie Robinson Black Heritage stamp, and then date-stamped August 2nd, 1982, a HOF induction date (not Paige’s), overlapping the business card. A cleverly put together item...the signature on the card must date sometime between 1980 and 1982, when he held this mostly ceremonial title position.
