Book, Ephemera and Curio Auction

The Book, Ephemera and Curio Auction, offered by Cordier Auctions, includes NASA photographs, rare books, advertising, postcards, and political ephemera. The featured NASA photographs are from the estate of Charles “Rex” Anderson of Kodak Research Laboratory. They include stills from the Apollo & Gemini missions, each marked with NASA serial numbers. Highlights of the group are from the Apollo X mission (with negatives) and an image of the first moon landing and placement of the American flag.

Wyeth will be available as well. View all lots and register to bid at LiveAuctioneers.
