Gemini 3 Memorabilia
GT3 Fliteline FLOWN
medallion
|
|
|
|
This GT3 FLOWN (rarely seen gold plated over sterling silver variety) Flightline Medallion comes from the personal archives of a former Mercury era NASA employee to whom it was given Gus Grissom himself. As seen in the scan, the reverse is dated with that mission's date of March 23, 1965. It will be accompanied by a hand written LOA from it's owner attesting this, as well as documentation that shows her as having actually been employed by NASA. This medallion does NOT come with it's original presentation box. #GT3-3* |

 |
An interesting and seldom seen novelty item produced by Kapp Records. It's owner was a fan of the space program as well as a collector. This amusing record label might have been used, had "Molly Brown" actually been produced (though it wasn't!). As you can see, it was a "NASA Production" and starred Gus Grissom and John Young !! I'm not sure how many of these were produced but given how how I've never before seen on, assume that very few have survived. I have only two available. #GT3-3 |

rear dust jacket "Forward" by Astronaut James Lovell
|
|
Offered here is a substantial 1" x 2" FLOWN Gemini 9 heat shield plug displayed in an ever so rare and highly sought after Lucite Capsule. The capsule itself measures approx. 5.25". On it's base is engraved "Heat Shield of Gemini #9 - A Test Pilot's Flight - Tom Stafford & Gene Cernan - 6/3 Thru 6/6 1966". This beautifully presented artifact comes from the personal collection of it's original owner, Colonel Frank Brandstetter. 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 FLOWN heat shield plug in it's display was presented to Colonel Brandstetter by the Gemini 9 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. 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. This FLOWN artifact 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.

Offered here is a gold plated FLOWN Gemini 9 Fliteline Medallion. The impressive gold medallion comes from the personal collection of it's original owner, Colonel Frank Brandstetter. Fliteline medallions were unnumbered. 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 FLOWN medallion was presented to Colonel Brandstetter by the Gemini 9 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 minor 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 artifacts. To that end, this FLOWN artifact 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.

Faithful Reproduction of Richard Gordon's flown Gemini XI Flight Plan
by Artist Linda Gordon
|
sample pages |
click to enlarge
|
sample pages |
|
Offered here is a faithful reproduction of the actual flown Gemini 11 Flight Plan used by that mission's Pilot, Richard Gordon. This replica is a result of Gordon family's desire to make available to Gordon family members and a very limited number of collectors, copies of some of Dick's original flown artifacts. This Flight Plan has been faithfully replicated including the paper stock, graphics, binder rings and even the velcro strips on it's back resulting in a look and feel that makes it virtually indistinguishable from the original. Of course, some minor differences exist, given the changes in technology and printing techniques since the originals were produced by NASA, dating back as early as the 1960's. Affixed to the inside front and rear of the Flight Plan cover is a crew photo (inside front) and launch photo (inside rear). Much of the work on the original checklists was done by hand and similarly, much hand work have gone into the production of this limited edition of 50. Many of the pages contain annotations, 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 flight plan flown on Gemini XI, 9/12 - 15/66...Richard Gordon" This particular checklist is the Artist's Proof #1. It measures 8.5" x 11" and is approximately 45 pages.

Gemini 12 Memorabilia
Extremely RARE large American Flag FLOWN onboard Gemini XII
|
This flag measuring 16.5" x 11" was flown onboard Gemini XI by Buzz Aldrin and James Lovell between November 11 - 15, 1966. It has been hand signed by Buzz Aldrin who writes, "Buzz Aldrin...Flown on Gemini XII". This flag is generally in great shape save for some minor spotting and a some slight fading to a small area in upper right quadrant of star field. This is the first oversized American Flag I've seen or have come across that was flown onboard a Gemini mission. If not one of a kind, this flags size certainly qualifies it as one of the rarest of it's kind.

The NASA identifying numbers are hand stamped in white ink: P.N CF55075-1; S/N 5. This flown artifact is accompanied by a NASA inventory tag which is quite detailed as can be seen in the scans provided. Most unique.. #GT12-2 |

It was obtained through auction by it's current owner who subsequently asked Farthest Reaches to handle it's resale. Flightline Medallions are widely considered the most desirable medallions associated with the Mercury/Gemini Missions and making this one even more so, is its having originated from the personal collection of an Astronaut.
