RMS Titanic - Original Hull Fragments from the Wreck

-
Image
 ($1500) This listing is for a display case containing two genuine steel fragments of the RMS Titanic. These pieces were recovered from the wrecksite by RMS Titanic Incorporated, the only company with salvage rights to the ship. The company sold coal from the wreck to fund their expeditions, but never sold pieces of the hull or artifacts from the ship. However, last year Dik Barton decided to sell some pieces from his personal collection. Barton was the Vice President of Operations for RMS Titanic Incorporated, and he was instrumental in recovering artifacts, diving to the wreck 22 times. Two of the most significant pieces of the ship to be recovered were the "Big Piece" of the hull (which tore away when the ship broke apart as it sank), and a Bollard which was knocked loose when the ship hit the ocean floor. When these pieces were brought to the surface and restored, hundreds of small eroded fragments had to be scraped off. This display piece contains one fragment from the B...

Neil Armstrong - "House Fire" photo from his private collection

-
Image
 ($350) This listing is for a photograph from Neil Armstrong's personal collection, documenting the aftermath of a fire that consumed his home in 1964. Late one night, faulty wiring sparked a fire that spread throughout the house. Neil was able to get his young children out of the burning home, with help from his good friend and neighbor Ed White. Less than three years later, Ed himself would die in a fire caused by faulty wiring, as part of the Apollo 1 disaster. In the years leading up to the moon landing, Neil suffered several personal losses and tragedies, including both of those fires. This photograph would have surely been one of the more emotional photos in his collection. T his item was obtained directly from Neil's sons. When Neil died in 2012, most of his collection was given to Janet, his first wife. And then when Janet died in 2018, the collection was passed down to their sons, who decided to auction it off the following year. To maintain auth...

Gold-Plated Apollo 11 Robbins Medallion Replicas

 ($125 each) This listing is for an Apollo 11 Robbins Medallion restrike, which has been plated in 24K gold. These are custom-finished. When these were originally released, I wanted a gold version like the ones the crew carried to the lunar surface. However, the only gold options were solid gold, with a very high price tag to match. So I decided to have one gold-plated instead. It's easier to get these done in batches, and I figured I wouldn't be the only one interested in one; so I got a batch of 10 made. These started out as regular copper medallions. Each one was first polished to give it a shinier surface. Normally I polish medallions using a dremel tool, but in this case I didn't want a uniformly shiny finish. Armstrong's gold medallion has a sort of hand-polished look. The raised surfaces look shinier than the surface below, and there's an aged look to it. I wanted to get closer to that, so I polished these by hand, focusing on the raised surfaces. That left t...
