Amazing, professionally restored Mercury astronaut training archive of Deke Slayton, an early NASA treasure chest filled with flight documents, lesson plans, and handwritten reports

6005. Mercury Program Training Binder with (200+) Pages of Study Guides and Handwritten Notes (1959) - From the Personal Collection of Deke Slayton. Extensive training binder of legendary astronaut Deke Slayton from circa 1959, dated shortly after his selection for NASA’s Project Mercury, the first U.S. crewed space flight program. The three-ring binder, 10˝ x 11.25˝ (2.75˝ thick), contains over 200 pages of early handwritten reports, lessons, lists, and graphs made in pencil and ink by Slayton while stationed at the Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, during the intensive Mercury Seven training period. The binder and all its contents, which had been uniformly water-damaged from a flood in Houston, were professionally cleaned and restored

by expert paper conservator J. Franklin Mowery in 2012. His remarkable efforts saved the majority of this binder’s many incredible documents, which offer many rare, perhaps neverbefore-seen assignments issued to the Mercury Program spacemen. The binder is separated by numerous section sheets and contains Slayton’s handwritten review of the Mercury selection process that ran from February to April 1959. Several maps and pages loose from binder, as is a group of printed comic strips. In good to fine condition, with varying degrees of moisture damage, ranging from little to somewhat heavy, throughout. Accompanied by an Invoice and Documentation Report from J. Franklin Mowery. Starting Bid $1000

Mini hammer carried on the last flight of Project Mercury—as discussed by Cooper while in orbit

6006.

Mercury-Atlas 9

Flown

Miniature Aluminum Hammer - From the Personal Collection of Gordon Cooper. Flown miniature aluminum hammer carried on the Mercury-Atlas 9 by Gordon Cooper, measuring 2˝ long and weighing a mere 3 grams, intended to be used to break any malfunctioning status lights aboard the Faith 7 spacecraft. In fine condition. Accompanied by a handwritten and signed provenance note from Gordon Cooper, in full: “This hammer was installed on the #1 Relay Switch of MA9 to break out any malfunctioning status lites. Flown on MA9—15–16 May 63.”

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.’ An interesting piece of history from the final flight of Project Mercury. Starting Bid $1000

From the collection of Bailey K. Howard, the originator of the Fliteline medallions. Starting Bid $200

Charles Conrad’s flown Gemini 5 flight plan, heavily annotated while in Earth orbit:

“Congratulate Gordo on exceeding his MA-9 Flight”

6032. Gemini 5 Flown Flight Plan with Extensive In-Flight Notations by Charles Conrad. Remarkable flown Gemini 5 flight plan used by Charles Conrad on the third crewed Gemini flight, identified on the front as “Part No. CF55069, Dash 1, S/N 50, SC 5, Book 1, Remarks: Flight Plan,” with the title page reading: “Revision 2, GT-5 Flight Plan, Prepared by Flight Crew Support Division, Spacecraft Operations Branch, August 11, 1965,” and marked, “Internal NASA Use Only.” The ring-bound plan measures 8 x 10.5 and contains 90 sheets (many double-sided), inclusive of the stiff covers. It is divided into “Section I: Launch Through Rendezvous” and “Section II: Flight Plan,” followed by ten sheets of map plates.

Most of Conrad’s extensive handwritten notes come in the second section, recording critical data points and denoting tasks completed or deleted, such as fuel cell purges, crew activities like sleeping and eating periods, and the completion of mission-related checklists. Early on, at 1:04:40, Conrad notes, “Saw meteor reenter below,” and at 2:02:50 records

that the spacecraft was “dinged by a micrometeorite.” He also makes observations of weather patterns seen while in Earth orbit (“Large Storm,” “Storm Doreen,” and “Large Storm Eye”), and jots down some reminders: “Tell Hou about Pri scanner” and “Get Serious,” above scheduled flight plan updates. At 2:01:00, he makes a note to “Congratulate Gordo on exceeding his MA-9 Flight,” referring to crewmate Gordon Cooper’s 34-hour Project Mercury mission, in which he had become the first American to spend an entire day in space. The Gemini 5 mission was another record-breaker, coming in at 7 days, 22 hours, 55 minutes, 14 seconds—just under their ‘8 Days or Bust’ slogan, but still enough to set a new endurance record. Their flight might have been one day longer, but Gemini 5 was cut short due to the approach of Hurricane Betsy—perhaps one of the weather patterns observed while on orbit. The rear board bears two affixed Velcro strips for securing the plan within the Gemini spacecraft. In very good to fine condition, with general wear from use. Provenance: Collection of Charles Conrad, Lot 172, Odyssey Auctions, February 27, 1994. Starting Bid $1000

The crew of Gemini 8 approach the Agena target vehicle—“Neil Armstrong, Gemini VIII” and

“Dave Scott, Gemini VIII”

6034. Gemini 8 Signed Oversized NASA Photograph. Superb official color semi-glossy 13.75 x 11 NASA photo of the Agena target vehicle as viewed from the Gemini 8 spacecraft prior to docking, with the Earth horizon visible below, affixed to its original 20 x 16 cardstock mount, which is signed neatly in black ink and felt tip, “Neil Armstrong, Gemini VIII” and “Dave Scott, Gemini VIII.” In fine condition. A beautiful crew-signed display piece honoring the historic Gemini 8 mission.

Flown space food packets from the harrowing flight of Gemini 8

6036. Gemini 8 Flown Space Food Packets (2) - From the Personal Collection of Dave Scott. Dave Scott’s lot of two flown food packets that were carried into geocentric orbit during the Gemini 8 mission, which includes: a 3 x 3.5 packet of “Chocolate Cubes,” bearing a small swatch of Velcro, and labels to either side that read: “0252” and “Serial No. FAW 010”; and a 2.75 x 3 packet of “Chewing Gum,” with a punch hole to the upper right and the reverse bearing a small swatch of Velcro. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a signed letter of authenticity from Scott. After completing the world’s first orbital docking, the Gemini VIII capsule, still docked to the Agena, began to roll. The crew undocked from the Agena and determined the problem to be a stuck thruster on the spacecraft, which now tumbled at the dizzying rate of one revolution per second. Neil Armstrong and Dave Scott used the capsule’s reentry control thrusters to stop the motion, an emergency decision that forced them to end their mission just ten hours after launch. Starting Bid $300

6041. Gemini 8 Flown Heatshield Display with Titan and Atlas Rocket Models. A substantial segment of flown heat shield from the Gemini 8 spacecraft, measuring approximately 2˝ x .5˝ x .75˝ and encased in a 3˝ x 1.5˝ x 1˝ Lucite block, displayed on a wooden base with an engraved plaque reading: “Heat Shield of Gemini #8, ‘First Docking in Space,’ Neil Armstrong, Dave Scott, 16 March 1966.” The base features circular stands for 9˝ tall models of the Gemini-Titan and AtlasAgena launch vehicles, both included. In fine condition, though the adhesive for the Titan model has let go, it could easily be reattached. An appealing presentation piece from a historic and harrowing flight: it achieved the first docking of two spacecraft in orbit, but also faced a critical in-flight emergency due to a stuck thruster, forcing the crew to perform an emergency reentry. Starting Bid $200

Purportedly, 10 plugs were presented to VIPs, and, per astronaut Tom Stafford, five to six smaller segments (about the diameter of a cigarette) were given to each crew member. Further augmenting the plug’s uniqueness is its unencapsulated state, as many heatshield components were later encased in resin and Lucite for presentation. Starting Bid $300

Incredibly rare tool kit carried on the Apollo 13 Command Module ‘Odyssey’

6406. Apollo 13 Flown Tool Kit Assembly with Pouch and Tools. Flown Apollo 13 tool kit assembly carried in the Command Module ‘Odyssey’ during the harrowing mission, complete with the pouch and assorted tools. With the exception of Tools (E) and (F), included tools are presumed to be flown onboard Apollo 13 by the consignor based on affiliation with the documented flown tool kit pouch; the tool kit’s part and serial numbers, “V36-601135-201, 06362-AAH5265,” are stamped on the lower right corner of the exterior of the roll-up Beta cloth pouch, and match an accompanying copy of a page from an ASHUR document requesting “a complete Block II tool kit” from “Spacecraft Number CM 109,” in order “to update the egress trainer’s post landing equipment stowage” at the Manned Spacecraft Center.

The tool kit consists of:

- three jackscrews, available for use as backup latches in the event that the installed hatch latches became inoperable or the hatch was deformed.

- a tether with a hook used to secure an attached tool to an astronaut and when moving about in the zero-g spacecraft environment.

- Tool L, a 5-inch long Cold Plate Clamp Driver bearing a 7/32” hex and 7/16” socket used to remove the Command Module’s waste servicing plug (on Panel 352) in preparation for dumping of the onboard waste water tank.

- Tool V, U-joint driver that is used to get at hard to reach locations (the head can be rotated up to a 30 degree angle).

- Tool W, a 1/4 drive Midget Ratchet Wrench used in conjunction with tools 1-4, primarily intended for application in conjunction with the docking probe.

- Tool 1, a combination 3/8-inch 12 point socket and ¼ inch drive socket which is used to remove the nuts from the bolts

that retain the shock strut to the docking probe supports.

- Tool 2, a 1/4-inch flat screwdriver used to manually remove the forward tunnel hatch latch pivot pin to gain access to the docking probe.

- Tools 3 and 4, number 8 and 10 torque set drivers which can be used to remove the fairings from the docking ring latches (prior to manual release of those latches).

- Tool R, combination 7/16” socket and No. 10 Torque Set screwdriver used to adjust Command Module mirror universal joints that may become misaligned due to vibration.

- Tool E, an adapter handle is used in conjunction with the drivers (not thought to be flown: an earlier version of the type used on Apollo missions, likely used in training).

- Tool F, a 10-inch crescent wrench used to install and remove the survival beacon connector and for emergency activation of hatch latches (not thought to be flown: an earlier version of the type used on Apollo missions, likely used in training).

The toolset pouch features Velcro-sealed pockets to securely hold the various tools in the weightless environment of space, with Velcro strapping to permit attachment to the Command Module structure. The pouch and tools exhibit staining and overall wear from use. When the flown tool kit was downgraded for use in training, the original part number and serial number were blocked on the kit’s main label, which retains the part number for the pouch (“V36-601517”). The original part and serial numbers are preserved on the outside lower corner of the pouch.

On August 13, 1970 the kit was transferred to the Apollo Egress Trainer, Boilerplate BP 1102A, for use in water egress training by later Apollo mission crews. While in use for training, tools likely came into contact with water which contributed to rusting of some tools. Starting Bid $5000

Silver slung around the moon on Apollo 13—a sought-after Robbins medallion gifted by Jack Swigert

6248. Apollo 13 Flown Robbins Medallion (Attested as From the Collection of Jack Swigert). Flown sterling silver Apollo 13 Robbins medallion attested as deriving from the collection of Apollo 13 CMP Jack Swigert. The medallion, approximately 1.25? in diameter, features 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 medal is serial numbered “204” and stamped above with the Robbins “Sterling” hallmark. Condition is mint state. Accompanied by the original plastic case and a short handwritten provenance note: “Medallion carried in orbit. Given to Art Bruns by Jack Swigert.” Art Bruns became a friend of the astronauts as manager of the Miami Springs Villas Hotel complex, where many of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo astronauts went for rest and relaxation.

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 $500

Rare ALSEP carried to the lunar surface by the Apollo 14 LMP Apollo 14

6276. Apollo 14 Flown ALSEP Emblem in Lucite - From the Personal Collection of Edgar Mitchell. Edgar Mitchell’s flown ‘Astronaut with ALSEP’ emblem that was carried to the lunar surface on the Lunar Module Antares during the Apollo 14 mission. The small emblem, which measures .75˝ x .75˝ and depicts an astronaut with an orange visor carrying the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP), is encased in a Lucite block, 2.5˝ x 2.75˝ x 2.5˝, with upper and lower golden text, “Apollo XIV, ALSEP, February 6, 1971.” The bottom of the block features additional NASA/Bendix caption text: “This emblem of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package being carried to its deployment site on Fra Mauro was taken to the surface of the Moon and returned to Earth on the Apollo XIV spacecraft by Astronauts Shepard, Roosa and Mitchell. February 5, 1971.” In fine condition, with some scuffing to the caption.

The Bendix Aerospace Company, selected by NASA to design and manufacture the ALSEP, produced a small quantity of these metallic emblems to be given as gifts once they were returned to Earth. Mitchell carried the emblems to the moon in his Personal Preference Kit (PPK), then returned them to Bendix to be transformed into these Lucite presentations commemorating the successful deployment of the ALSEP. The Apollo 14 ALSEP carried an Active Seismic Experiment, Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment, and Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, which Mitchell helped to place and operate on the lunar surface at Fra Mauro. As a testament to its durable construction, the Apollo 14 ALSEP station continued to broadcast experimental data until 1977.

One of six 14K gold Robbins medallions flown on Apollo 14, from the personal collection of the mission’s Lunar Module Pilot

6275. Apollo 14 Flown 14K Gold Robbins Medallion - From the Personal Collection of Edgar Mitchell. Edgar Mitchell’s exceedingly rare flown 14K gold Apollo 14 Robbins medallion, measuring approximately 1.5˝ x 1˝, with a raised design of the Apollo 14 mission insignia on the face—the astronaut insignia approaching the moon, leaving a comet trail from the liftoff point on Earth, with the mission and crewmen’s surnames in the border. The reverse is engraved with the launch date of January 31, 1971; lunar landing date of February 5, 1971; and return date of February 9, 1971. The medal has no serial number and is stamped with the Robbins “14K” hallmark. Condition is mint state.

Only six gold Robbins medallions were struck and flown on the Apollo 14 mission—these special medallions were generally ordered by the Apollo crews as personal mementos of their flight and were often taken to the moon’s surface in the Lunar Module. As such, they stand as the rarest and most desirable flown Apollo medallions.

Edgar Mitchell was the Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 14, landing on the moon aboard the LM Antares on February 5, 1971. During three EVAs with CDR Alan Shepard, he spent over nine hours conducting experiments on the lunar surface. Together, Mitchell and Shepard collected almost 100 pounds of moon rock and lunar soil samples for return to Earth. In the hierarchy of desirability, any flown Robbins medallion from a moonwalker’s own mission ranks exceedingly high—and 14K gold examples are virtually impossible to obtain. To our knowledge, this is the very first gold Apollo 14 Robbins medallion to appear at auction. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Karlyn Mitchell, the daughter of Edgar Mitchell.

In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Karlyn Mitchell, the daughter of Edgar Mitchell. Starting Bid $300

“Lunar

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

6280. Apollo 14 Flown Handkerchief: “Lunar Dust Tended to Make Us Sneeze” - From the Personal Collection of Edgar Mitchell. White, lacy-edged linen handkerchief carried into lunar orbit on Apollo 14, 8.75˝ x 8.5˝, signed and 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.

Edgar Mitchell’s flown sterling silver Apollo 14 Robbins medallion, measuring approximately 1.5˝ x 1˝, with a raised design of the Apollo 14 mission insignia on the face—the astronaut insignia approaching the moon, leaving a comet trail from the liftoff point on Earth, with the mission and crewmen’s surnames in the border. The reverse is engraved with the launch date of January 31, 1971; lunar landing date of February 5, 1971; and return date of February 9, 1971.

Incredibly rare Rolex GMT-Master worn by Edgar Mitchell on Apollo 14

6286. Apollo 14 Flown Rolex GMT-Master ‘Pepsi’ Watch - From the Personal Collection of Edgar Mitchell - One of Two Apollo-flown Rolex Watches Ever Sold at Auction. Edgar Mitchell’s flown Rolex GMT-Master chronometer watch (Reference #1675) worn on the Apollo 14 mission, serial no. 2448767, as seen in film footage of Mitchell suiting up prior to flight and in onboard footage taken inside the Command Module. The caseback is engraved, “Worn by Cdr. E. Mitchell on Apollo 14, 1971, To Karlin—My Daughter.” It features a 26-jewel Oyster Perpetual Movement, black dial, blue-and-red bezel with 24-hour scale (nicknamed the ‘Pepsi’ color scheme), date indicator with famous Rolex ‘Cyclops’ magnifying bubble in the acrylic crystal, and Rolex Steelinox bracelet with fliplock clasp.

The bezel rotates so that the local time zone and Greenwich Mean Time may be simultaneously represented, a system developed thanks to the age of flight—Rolex collaborated with Pan American World Airways to devise the scheme, so that their long-haul pilots could keep track of both local time and GMT, which was used for all aviation flight planning. In fine cosmetic condition, with light scratches and wear from use; the watch’s function is untested. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Mitchell, certifying that “the accompanying Rolex watch was worn by me during the Apollo 14 mission.”

Although all Apollo astronauts were famously issued Omega Speedmaster Pro watches, some preferred their Rolex chronometers—Mitchell famously wore this GMT-Master to the moon along with his Omega, as documented in pre-flight suit-up images and in film footage taken inside the CM ‘Kitty Hawk.’ Stuart Roosa also flew with his Rolex GMT-Master on Apollo 14, as did Jack Swigert on Apollo 13 and Ron Evans on Apollo 17. To date, the only Apollo-flown Rolex to be publicly offered is Apollo 17 CMP Ron Evans’s ‘Pepsi’ GMT-Master, sold at auction in 2009.

As the NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster Pro chronographs remain property of the United States government, any watch flown on an Apollo mission is exceedingly rare—in addition to the aforementioned Ron Evans Rolex, the only Apollo-flown watch to be sold at auction is Apollo 15 Commander Dave Scott’s lunar surface-worn chronograph, which achieved over $1.5 million at RR Auction in 2015.

For science and entertainment—

a flown tape recorder battery carried on Apollo 14

6288. Apollo 14 Flown Voice Recorder Battery - From the Personal Collection of Edgar Mitchell. BP-15 voice recorder battery 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 numbers: “SEB33100264-301, S/N 1049.” The battery features a pulltab at the top for easy removal from the device. Exhibits 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.

Incredible flown hand controller from the Apollo 14 Lunar Module Antares, used by LMP Edgar Mitchell to pilot the spacecraft to

the surface of the moon

6291. Apollo 14 Lunar Surface-Flown Lunar Module Attitude Controller Assembly - From the Personal Collection of Edgar Mitchell. Flown lunar module attitude controller assembly, used by LMP Edgar Mitchell and flown to the lunar surface on board the Apollo 14 Lunar Module Antares. The rotational hand controller and housing measure approximately 6.75˝ x 10˝ x 4˝, with two 15˝ umbilical cables protruding from the top of the housing, both with Beta cloth covered plugs at the ends. The rear of the housing retains its original Honeywell label, reading: “Attitude Controller Assembly, Unit No. 069, Mfg Part No. DCG163E9, Control No. LSC300-190-3-7, Contract No. NAS9-1100-3-5001, MFG Serial No. 069, Mfg Date 31 Dec 1968.” The housing is also faintly marked in red, “LDW340-54220-27, SN 69,” and bears several red inspection stamps, as well as mounting brackets on either side.

Using this hand controller inside the Lunar Module, Edgar Mitchell could control the spacecraft’s rotation in either direction around all three axes, using it to adjust yaw, pitch, and roll. The joystick-style controller remains tight and functional: it smoothly moves forward and back (pitch down/up), side to side (roll left/right), twists clockwise and counterclockwise (yaw right/left), and returns to neutral. The trigger-style push-to-talk switch at the head of the grip, used to activate communications with the CSM and ground facilities, also functions. Located on the right side of the Lunar Module Antares, LMP Mitchell would have used this hand controller while landing the LM in the moon’s Fra Mauro region, as well as when piloting the ascent stage to rendezvous with Command Module for their trip home.

Mitchell recalled practicing ‘field stripping’ the hand controller from the LM to keep as a souvenir, a process he had down to three minutes. He proudly displayed this unit on the desk in his study, housed in a handsome custom-made wooden case, with engraved plaque on the front: “Rotational Hand Controller, Apollo 14 Lunar Module ‘Antares,’ Captain Edgar D. Mitchell, NASA Astronaut & Lunar Module Pilot, On the lunar surface February 5–6, 1971.” Includes an image of Mitchell posing with the controller in its case; the bottom of the wooden case had to be cut out to remove the controller, but it is included.

Based on research conducted by space collector, author, and appraiser Larry McGlynn (a star of Netflix’s ‘Space Dealers’), it is believed that only five of the Lunar Module attitude control assemblies were returned to Earth during the Apollo program: both were returned from Apollo 14 and Apollo 15, and one was brought home from Apollo 17. The Apollo 15 LM attitude controller assembly brought home by CDR Dave Scott achieved over $600,000 at RR Auction in 2014. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Karlyn Mitchell, the daughter of Edgar Mitchell. Starting Bid $10,000

Presented by Bulova chairman Gen. Omar Bradley to Apollo 14 LMP Edgar Mitchell— a custom-made Accutron Astronaut Mark I watch

6295. Bulova Astronaut Mark I Watch with Custom “Houston” Dial - From the Personal Collection of Edgar Mitchell. Apollo 14 LMP Edgar Mitchell’s custom-made and engraved Bulova Accutron Astronaut Mark I watch, with “Houston” in orange on the world timer dial, serial no. 138492, engraved on the caseback, “Captain Edgar Mitchell, Congratulations, Bulova Watch Co., Inc., 1971.” The standard-issue Astronaut Mark I had a black ‘Chicago’ on the dial to indicate the central time zone, while this custom example has a bright orange “Houston” in its place. The watch is on a stainless steel bracelet. In fine cosmetic condition, with minor wear from use; the watch’s function is untested.

Mitchell’s family reports that this was presented to him by Gen. Omar Bradley, who served as Bulova’s Chairman of the Board from 1958 to 1973. Under Bradley’s oversight, Bulova became a key manufacturer of critical timing instruments for military and aerospace applications, including watches worn on Project Mercury flights, clocks used in spacecraft, and timers used in lunar experiment apparatus. Bradley evidently had a custom dial fabricated for this special presentation to one of America’s moonwalkers, highlighting Houston—home to NASA’s Mission Control Center—as a significant place. Interestingly, Mitchell got started as a naval aviator in 1953, just as Bradley was wrapping up his tenure as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the Korean War having come to a close. The two men clearly shared a mutual admiration and respect—in a 2008 interview, Mitchell mentioned carrying Bradley’s five-star collar insignia from World War II to the moon on Apollo 14. A highly desirable, historic timepiece with a storied past. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Karlyn Mitchell, the daughter of Edgar Mitchell. Starting Bid $300

Unique 18K solid gold Omega Speedmaster Pro

‘Tribute to Astronauts’ watch, engraved and presented to Dave Scott

6311. Omega Speedmaster Professional 18K Gold Apollo 11 Commemorative Watch - From the Personal Collection of Dave Scott. Dave Scott’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. 16,” this watch’s caseback is engraved, “Astronaut David R. Scott, Gemini 8 - Apollo 9,” with his later role on “Apollo 15” added above by Omega. 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 fine cosmetic condition, with a few minor scuffs from frequent wear; Scott notes that the watch was once professionally cleaned but has never been restored.

Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance signed by

Dave Scott, in part: “I hereby certify that the Omega Gold Presentation Watch, Movement Serial number 28080607, Case Serial No. 16, included with this letter was presented to me by the Omega Watch Company at a gat dinner at the Hotel Warwick in Houston, TX, on November 25, 1969. This 18k solid yellow gold Omega Speedmaster Professional BA 145.022 has been in my personal possession since then…

This watch was presented to me by the Omega watch company at the special gala dinner on November 25, 1969, at the Hotel Warwick in Houston Texas—known as the ‘Tribute to Astronauts’. This was an elegant black-tie event attended by 19 Apollo astronauts as well as senior NASA managers, leading government officials and prominent local and Texas

individuals. During the dinner, a formal presentation of the 18K gold Omega Speedmaster watches was made to each of the 19 astronauts in attendance, whereby each astronaut was recognized individually for his contribution to the success of the Apollo program, and especially Apollo 11. Omega presented 26 of these gold commemorative watches to NASA Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronauts alive and deceased. The group included all astronauts who had flown on flights prior to and including the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission. Subsequently the remaining 7 gold watches were presented to those astronauts unable to attend the dinner due to official duties, e.g., as an example, the Apollo 12 crew were still in quarantine after having returned to Earth on November 24, 1969 (a mission on which I was backup Commander)… It should be noted that at the request of Omega, because Apollo 15 was flown after the November 1969 presentation (July-August 1971), Omega requested my watch to be returned for the engraving of ‘Apollo 15.’ The watch has been professionally cleaned one time but not restored. All other parts are original to the timepiece…

As an example of the many post -flight celebration events during which I wore this watch, on Aug. 24, New York City welcomed Scott, Worden, and Irwin with an hour-long motorcade down Fifth Avenue with thousands of well-wishers lining the route. Mayor John V. Lindsay welcomed them on the steps of City Hall, saying, ‘You have shown us again that Americans working together can turn great dreams into reality.’…

I also wore this watch during the many other celebration events after Apollo 15 that continued for many months to highlight the scientific aspects of the Apollo 15 mission for government officials, scientists, students, the media, and the general public.

These events included each of the major Apollo contractors in the US, six European countries, and a special State Department Goodwill visit to Poland and Yugoslavia, the second official US visit to East European countries after WWII.”

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. Unlike Schirra’s, this example was owned by a moonwalker who followed in the footsteps of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin—whose lunar footprints served as the impetus for the gold watch’s creation. A remarkable example of this historic and iconic timepiece, direct from the collection of its astronaut owner. Starting Bid $25,000

“Aboard the Falcon at Hadley Base, Moon”— a flown LM Utility Bracket presented to moonwalker Ed Mitchell

6314. Apollo 15 Lunar Surface-Flown LM Utility Light Bracket - From the Personal Collection of Edgar Mitchell. Apollo Lunar Module Utility Bracket Assembly flown to the lunar surface aboard the Apollo 15 LM ‘Falcon,’ presented to Edgar Mitchell by the Apollo 15 crew, affixed to an 8˝ x 6˝ wooden plaque, with engraved presentation plate: “This Utility Light Brkt. was Aboard the Falcon at Hadley Base, Moon. July 30–Aug. 2, Apollo Year 3, Presented by the Crew of Apollo 15 to Ed Mitchell.” The clamp is stamped in red with part numbers, “LDW340-52040-1,” with other markings and inspection stamps throughout the assembly. The assembly features two thumbscrews: one used to tighten or release the clamp jaws, and the other to adjust the relative orientation of the clamp and bracket. The bracket has a shoe-type plate that allows it to mate to either a Utility Light or the Data Acquisition Camera (DAC).

The Lunar Module Utility Light was a small, portable light used by the Apollo astronauts to provide additional illumination within the Lunar Module, especially in areas where fixed lighting was insufficient. It was designed to be versatile and repositionable, with a coiled cable and mounting foot that allowed it to mate to a utility bracket. The bracket’s clamp allowed it to be positioned throughout the cabin; they were often secured to the Alignment Optical Telescope (AOT) guard. Further, the utility brackets could support the 16mm Data Acquisition Camera (DAC): on Apollo 11, Buzz Aldrin used this type of bracket to point the DAC out the LM’s window, capturing footage of Neil Armstrong’s descent to the lunar surface and subsequent EVA exercises.

Small Beta cloth flags of the United States were carried on the lunar surface for three days of EVA excursions during the Apollo 15 mission, housed inside a Beta cloth package mounted on an internal structural bracket of an Apollo 15 Oxygen Purge System (OPS). Describing these flags, Apollo 15 CDR Dave Scott reflects: ‘During the Apollo era, it was not unusual for engineers or technicians to secretly hide souvenir items in some part of the spacecraft or flight equipment before launch to be recovered after the mission when the spacecraft was returned to NASA or the contractor. One instance of this occurred on Apollo 15. Several weeks after Apollo 15, this OPS Bracket and Flag Package were shown to me by NASA senior management. According to management, a member of the JSC Crew Systems Division (CSD) had prepared the flags and secretly stowed them in the beta cloth package on a structural Support Bracket inside the OPS. This was apparently unknown to anybody else until the OPS was disassembled after the mission by some other member of the CSD and the flag package was discovered. Both were then delivered to management for disposition. At the management meeting, I was given the OPS bracket and package of flags. I presented some of the flags to people who had made significant contributions to Apollo.’ Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Karlyn Mitchell, the daughter of Edgar Mitchell.

This hand controller would be used for controlling the Lunar Module’s attitude, for example, in the final phase of the landing when the crewman wants to take over from the computer and manually pitch the spacecraft to aid in picking a landing site. The handle pivots at the palm for pitch up/down, through the center of the handle for yaw left/right, and inside the housing for roll left/right. These three-axis controls for pitch, roll, and yaw were vital for successfully maneuvering the spacecraft to and from the lunar surface, and for rendezvous and coking with the Command Module on the return home. The controllers were referred to as the ‘ACA’ for Attitude Control Assembly. Some of the first words on the moon spoken by Buzz Aldrin were ‘ACA out of detent.’ A significant and easily recognizable piece of iconic Lunar Module hardware. Starting Bid $1000

Huge spherical helium tank used to fuel the Apollo Command and Service Module’s SPS engine

6403. Apollo CSM SPS Helium Tank. Huge spherical titanium Apollo CSM helium tank, measuring approximately 40˝ in diameter, used to pressurize the propellants for the Apollo Service Module Propulsion System (SPS) engine.

The tank is built to carry 19.6 cubic feet of helium gas, pressurized at 3600 psi. Centrally located within the CSM, two tanks were used to ‘pump’ fuel and oxygen for the SPS engine by injecting inert helium gas.

North American Aviation built the Apollo CSM, and burst-tested the first SPS helium tank in November 1963; this example dates to a year later. Following its service in developing the spacecraft for the Apollo program, this tank was featured in the music video for ‘One Way Ticket to the Moon’ by Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics fame). To our knowledge, this is the first time an Apollo CSM SPS helium tank has been publicly offered at auction.

6413. Faith 7 Mission Control-Used Flight Controller’s Handbook - From the Personal Collection of Gene Kranz. Gene Kranz’s bracket-bound Mission Control flight controller’s handbook that he used during the Mercury-Atlas 9 mission and the historic flight of Gordon Cooper’s Faith 7 spacecraft on May 15, 1963. The handbook, 9 x 11.5, is signed and mission-certified in black ink on the first page (tabbed “FCH-1”) and reads: “Spacecraft schematics from my console in Mercury Control for Gordon Cooper’s mission in Faith 7 – 5/15/63, Eugene F. Kranz, Asst. Flight Director.” Kranz has added handwritten notations in ink, graphite, and colored pencil throughout the handbook and its array of fold-out schematics, adding clarifications, adjusted revisions, readings, and directives. The table of contents page, marked as “Page A, FCH-1, Rev. A” and dated March 15, 1963, lists the numerous categories found in the handbook’s seven main sections, which are tabbed: “Electrical,” “Sequential,”

“Communications,” “ASCS & RCS,” “Environmental,” “Instrumentation,” and “Miscellaneous.”

“Section IV: ASCS & RCS,” which regards the Automatic Stabilization and Control System, is of considerable interest given that the system failed during the mission’s 19th, 20th, and 21st orbits. The Faith 7 capsule was designed for fully automatic control, but with the ASCS suddenly down, Cooper relied on his understanding of star patterns as he took manual control of the tiny capsule and successfully estimated the correct pitch for re-entry into the atmosphere.

Written from Mescalero Ranch in Roswell, Goddard sends a recommendation letter for a machinist eager to assist with “the rocket development in New Mexico”

6460. Robert H. Goddard War-Dated Typed Letter Signed. World War II-dated TLS signed “R. H. Goddard,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Mescalero Ranch (Roswell, New Mexico) letterhead, July 4, 1941. Letter of recommendation sent to Goddard’s old Clark University associate, Dr. Louis Thompson, in part: “This letter will introduce Mr. Nils T. Ljungquist, the machinist about whom I told you…As I then explained, he would like to be considered for work in the Navy Department if and when the rocket development in New Mexico terminates or is interrupted.” In fine condition. Accompanied by its original transmittal envelope and a vintage glossy 9.5 x 7.5 group photo of nine rocket scientists and machinists posing together outdoors, with Goddard pictured front and center, and Ljungquist seated to his right.

Robert H. Goddard wrote this recommendation letter for one of the principal workmen at his Roswell, New Mexico workshop, machinist Nils Thure Ljungquist, who had worked with him there since the early 1930s. Goddard had been conducting rocket trials at Roswell since 1930, and it was there that he developed a series of varied and complex rocket prototypes. Goddard—supported by machinists like Ljungquist—was perfecting his P series of rockets in 1940-41. Just a few months before writing this letter, on May 8, 1941, Goddard had tested his Type P-C rocket, a ‘quarter-ton’ loaded rocket powered by propellant turbopumps. Starting Bid $200

Scarce handwritten letter from the father of modern rocketry, informing a former Clark University physics student that “Mr. Goldblatt is getting the apparatus ready for some runs”

6461. Robert H. Goddard Autograph Letter Signed on Experiments at Clark University. Physicist and inventor (1882-1945) credited with creating and building the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket. ALS signed “R. H. Goddard,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Clark University (Department of Physics), October 18, 1925. Handwritten letter to his former graduate student, Russell B. Hastings. In full: “Things are settling down here into running form. Mr. Sleeper has the large room on the second floor, front, and shares it with a M. Bouillette, a young French exchange student who picked out Clark…He will get used to things this year, particularly the language, and will then pass on to another University where he can get a Ph.D. He is working on an interrupted-current pattern here, and on hydraulics with Prof. Allen at the Tech. Mr. Goldblatt is getting

the apparatus ready for some runs, and will use large copper blocks, in the hope of preventing melting.” In fine condition.

Seven weeks after Goddard wrote this letter, he successfully conducted a static test in the Clark University physics laboratory, in which a liquid-fueled engine successfully lifted its own weight in a static rack. The test proved that a liquid-fuel rocket was possible. Three months later, on March 16, 1926, Goddard launched the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket at his aunt’s farm in Auburn, Massachusetts. The rocket rose 41 feet and flew a distance of 184 feet in 2.5 seconds. The experiment proved ‘conclusively the practicality of the liquid-propelled rocket,’ as Goddard later wrote.

The local time on Mars is approximately noon…Orange-red surface materials cover most of the surface, apparently forming a thin veneer over darker bedrock exposed in patches, as in the lower right…The scene was scanned three times by the spacecraft’s camera #2, through a different color filter each time. To assist in balancing the colors, a second picture was taken of a test chart mounted on the rear of the spacecraft. Color data for these patches were adjusted until the patches were an appropriate color of gray. The same calibration was then used for the entire scene. Another version of this photo (Viking 1-46) with a sky that appeared more pink, gray and blue, was shown last week. This interpretation has been modified with further processing.” In overall fine condition, with a tiny crease to the top border of the smaller JPL photo. Starting Bid $200

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.

Isao Hirai’s majestic 11-foot Space Shuttle Challenger tribute model to the tragic crew of the STS-51-L mission

6482. 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 STS-51-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.

Massive model of the Sputnik 2, the launch vehicle of Laika the dog

6487. Sputnik 2 Model. Impressive 1:19 scale presentation model of the two-stage Sputnik 2 8K71PS launch vehicle. This custom handmade model, constructed of metal and plastic composite, stands approximately 62˝ tall and is set on an attractive 12.75˝ x 12.75˝ x 1.25˝ base with descriptive plaque: “Space Rocket, Model 8K71?C-2, Sputnik-2 with Laika Onboard.” The stunning two-piece model features the Sputnik 2 with Laika protected below its cone-shaped payload fairing and seated atop the payload base, with a lower core stage and four massive boosters. In fine condition, some wear to base.

Laika, a female street dog from Moscow, was launched aboard Sputnik 2 on November 3, 1957, just a month after the successful launch of Sputnik 1. Little was known about the effects of spaceflight on living creatures at the time of Laika’s mission and animal flights were viewed by engineers as a necessary precursor to human missions. However, as the technology to de-orbit had not yet been developed, Laika’s survival was never expected. She died of overheating hours into the flight, on the craft’s fourth orbit. Laika’s mission paved the way for human spaceflight by providing valuable data on the effects of space travel on living organisms. Starting Bid $1000

Everything seems to be OK…I wrote on gloves the times of connection and shadow—may be useful if there are problems with communication with the FCC (Flight Control Center). No fear. The case, of course, is risky, but there is no fear.” Starting Bid $1000

Meteorites

‘The Mars Cube’— containing particles of the famed Zagami Martian meteorite

6516. NWA 12265 Asteroid 4 Vesta Meteorite Slice. HED Eucrite melt breccia

186 mm x 134 mm x 3 mm

133 grams

Found in the Sahara desert in 2015, NWA 12265 is a vesicular eucrite shock-melt breccia from Vesta, the second largest asteroid in the asteroid belt—this slice of the meteorite is a core sample from the depths of outer space. An ancient time capsule older than Earth itself, documenting the history of incredible space-borne violence to Vesta and its ejected material. As is the case with the Martian and lunar offerings, this arrived on Earth as a result of another asteroid having slammed into Vesta, ejecting debris into space, some of which serendipitously entered an Earth-crossing orbit.

During the impact of a meteorite, old rocks are broken up and new rocks are formed. Breccias are rocks composed of fragments of others that have been relithified, or glued back together, by these violent impacts—resulting in a rock consisting of clasts (rock fragments) of various sizes, embedded in a matrix of smaller clasts, crystallized impact melt, or glass. This meteorite shows off the rounded clasts and veins of impact melt, with one polished face and one matte face; a weight label and a few small pieces of tape are applied to the dull backside. Accompanied by a metal display label. 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.

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

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.

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.

6.9 All checks, cashiers checks, bank checks, or money orders are payable to R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC. RR Auction clients with an invoice totaling $1,000 or under will have the option to pay by VISA, Mastercard, Discover or Paypal. All Paypal payments must be sent to FinanceDepartment@rrauction.com. Authorize.net, a third-party service provider contracted by RR Auction for processing on-line payments, charges a nonrefundable service fee of 3%, which will be added to your final invoice should you pay by credit/debit card.

Section 7 Sales Tax

RR Auction is a remote seller and we are now required to collect Sales/ Use Tax from our bidders. The states that we have nexus in we will be required to collect and remit sales tax on your behalf.

If you decide to pick up your purchases at our New Hampshire location you will not be required to pay sales tax. The State of New Hampshire does not have a general sales and use tax. All purchases picked up at our Massachusetts location will be taxed at the current rate of 6.25%.

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. Bidder agrees that service and handling charges related to shipping items which are not pre-paid may be charged to a credit card on file with RR Auction.

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. NOTE: Declaration value shall be the item’(s) hammer price and RR Auction shall use the correct harmonized code for the lot. Domestic Bidders on lots designated for third-party shipment must designate the common carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs.

All duties, customs, and any other import charges are the responsibility of the bidder.

Section 9

Title

Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices of Bidder (including those pertaining to the item(s) at issue) and amounts owed to RR Auction are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.

Section 10

Rights Reserved

RR Auction reserves the right, at any time before, during or after an auction has ended to: withdraw any lot before or at the time of the Auction, cancel any bid, and/or to postpone the Auction of all or any lots or parts thereof, for any reason. RR Auction shall not be liable to any Bidder in the event of such withdrawal, cancellation, or postponement under any circumstances. RR Auction reserves the right to refuse to accept bids from anyone at any time.

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.

(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.

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:

(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.

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.

Section 18

Headings

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

Section 19 Entire Agreement

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.

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.
