Apollo 10: Other Memorabilia

 

NEW  Flown Top EVA Handrail from Command Module Charlie Brown NEW 

 

 

Offered here is a seldom seen, fully intact and easily identifiable FLOWN space craft part from the lunar voyage of Apollo 10.  This hand rail was attached to the outside of the Command Module Charlie Brown and was exposed to the harshness of open space throughout it's voyage between the earth and the moon. 

It measures nearly 15" long and is still covered in it's remaining Kapton foil as it was when removed from the command module Charlie Brown (CM-106) post flight.  A small black NASA stamp can be seen on the handle itself upon close inspection.  A copy of the actual NASA scrap tag showing that this comes from S/C 106 is included.  This is the first time I've had an EVA handrail to offer and given it's great rarity, consider it an artifact of major importance.

"Brandy, Our Man in Acapulco"



by Rodney Carlisle & Dominic Monetta


 

 

 

rear dust jacket

 "Forward" by Astronaut James Lovell

 

 

 

This sterling silver Apollo 10 Robbins Medallion was FLOWN to the moon on that mission and comes from the personal collection of it's original owner, Colonel Frank Brandstetter.  It is #172/300.  Brandstetter is a man of many accomplishments and as such, was highly respected and admired by his many well known personal friends that included our own astronaut heroes.  His 1999 biography, "Brandy, Our Man In Acapulco" by Rodney Carlisle & Dominic Monetta (UNT Press, Texas, 1999) tells his amazing story and details his exceptionally strong connection to America's manned space program and many of it's astronauts and other key players.  Included above (with permission) is a view of that book's rear dust jacket with a portion of the "Forward" by Astronaut James Lovell, contained therein.   

The Robbins Medallion being offered here was presented to Colonel Brandstetter by the Apollo 10 flight crew and from that time until being offered for sale through Farthest Reaches, has been maintained in his personal collection of space memorabilia.  This medallion was proudly displayed for many years in Brandstetter's Space Museum at Casa de la Tranquilidad, Mexico.  Please note some tape residue on reverse from it's museum identification tag, that can be removed at buyers discretion.

Following his retirement, President Lyndon Johnson, while visiting Brandy's Acapulco home, toured his amazing space museum and was quoted as saying (laughingly), "Damn you, Colonel, you've got more of this stuff than I do, and I'm the one who signed the appropriation bills for the space program!".  He asked that a photo be taken to commemorate his visit and it is included above.  This anecdote, along with a more detailed accounting of Brandstetter's space program connection is covered in his biography.  

In the last year or so, as more collectors have discovered Robbins Medallions, the market prices of these FLOWN gems have risen dramatically. They are highly sought after by serious collectors seeking unquestionably authentic, flown to the moon artifacts. To that end, this FLOWN Apollo 10 Robbins Medallion comes with outstanding provenance.  It will be accompanied by a letter detailing it's history of ownership, hand signed by Colonel Brandstetter himself on his personal stationary.  Also included will be a copy of his biography, "Brandy, Our Man in Acapulco" that in addition to being fascinating reading, lends additional provenance to this FLOWN piece of space program history.  Farthest Reaches Inc. invites you to look for other unique items from the "Brandstetter Collection" in the days and weeks to come.

12" Buzz Lightyear Hand Signed By Buzz Aldrin !!

 

Offered here is an official Buzz Lightyear Action Figure.  He's fully functional in every way, just as manufactured.  He speaks several phrases with the push of a button, he shoots his laser and his "wings" open and close.  The original "Try Me" tag still dangles from his wrist though the box is nowhere to be found.  Making this a bit more desirable however is that this action figure has been hand signed not once but TWICE by Buzz Aldrin.  The signatures can be seen in the attached images.  Buzz Lightyear stands 12" tall and though I'm not an action figure expert, note the manufacture's stamp indicating it was produced in 2001 and is in awesome "as new" condition. 

It does not have an original box but what it does have, is that it's been hand signed by Buzz Aldrin, not just once but TWICE as you can see in the attached images!  This is a way cool associational item and would make a great gift for your kids, but come on now....we know who it's really for don't we?  A great conversation piece!

Charles "Pete" Conrad 

(see also Gemini 5, Gemini 12 & Skylab 2)

all measure 8x10 unless specified otherwise

 

When it comes to Pete Conrad imagery, this is one I'm asked about most often.  In this case we are offering the larger (16" x 20") version  and best of all is professionally framed with a mission patch built neatly into the display.  Overall measurements are 23" x 27".  Pete signs in gold and adds his mission information.  Pardon the scan which is a tad light on my monitor, due to glare from the Plexiglas that could not be avoided.  The image is even nicer that the scan would indicate.  Beautiful signature and ready to hang...

Faithful Reproduction of Richard Gordon's flown Apollo 12 Launch Operations Checklist

by Artist Linda Gordon 

sample pages

click to enlarge

 

sample pages

Offered here is a faithful reproduction of the actual flown Apollo 12 Launch Operations Checklist used by that mission's Command Module Pilot, Richard Gordon.  This replica is a result of Gordon family's desire to make available to other Gordon family members and a limited number of collectors, copies of some of Dick's original flown artifacts.  

This Limited Edition of 50 Launch Operation Checklists has been faithfully replicated including the paper stock, graphics, binder rings and even the detail of the pink paper stock denoting in the original's, chapters for abort procedures.  The tabs are also hand made and reinforced giving this work of art a look and feel that's virtually indistinguishable from the original.  Only minor differences exist given changes in technology and printing techniques since the first checklists were produced by NASA, dating back as early as the 1960's.  Much of the work on the original checklists was done by hand and similarly, much hand work and care have gone into the production of this replica.

Many of the pages contain annotations by crew members, most of them technical, but some lighthearted entries that call to mind that fact that is was human beings who were performing extraordinary technical maneuvers, yet having the time of their lives, as good friends should. 

Also of great importance is that the artist behind this reproduction is Linda Gordon (Dick's wife) who is an accomplished artist.  This checklist comes with a beautifully produced COA hand signed by Linda.  In addition, this front of this checklist has been hand signed by Richard Gordon who inscribes, "Replica of the original Launch Operations Checklist flown on Apollo XII, 11/14/69...Richard Gordon"

This particular checklist is the Artist's Proof #1.  It measures 8" x 6" and is approximately 103 pages.
