Space-Flown Apollo 11 Robbins Medal — Owned by Buzz Aldrin
Scarce Apollo 11 Robbins medal, with serial number 378, owned by Buzz Aldrin. Front of coin has ”Apollo 11” engraved above the mission insignia of an eagle landing on the moon’s surface carrying an olive branch. Verso has three dates for the launch, ”July 16, 1969”, landing, ”July 20, 1969”, and return, ”July 24, 1969”. For the moon landing missions, three blank fields were included for the launch, lunar landing, and return dates and later engraved, as is the case here. Verso also has the ”378” serial number engraved with each astronaut’s last name. Coin measures 1.125”, made of sterling silver. In very good condition. This Robbins medal was given directly by Buzz Aldrin to the previous owner Jack Tow upon the death of Jack’s father, John Tow, when he was a boy. John and his wife Barbara Tow were close to Buzz and Joan Aldrin as they were neighbors on the same military base. Medal is accompanied by two LOAs from Barbara Tow as well as a copy of envelopes and partial letter from Joan Aldrin to Barbara, confirming their relationship. Lot is also accompanied by a signed photo of Buzz Aldrin to Jack Tow, which Mr. Aldrin gave him with the Robbins medal. Sold for $37,500.
Apollo 11 Space-Flown U.S. Flag
American flag flown aboard the historic Apollo 11 mission to the moon during that very first lunar landing on 20 July 1969. Flag is affixed to board with the auto-penned signatures of the Apollo 11 crew and the words: ”This flag traveled to the Moon on Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing / July 20, 1969”. Flag measures 3.75” x 5.75” and board measures 8” x 10”. Near fine condition. With an LOA from Goldberg Auctions and Catherine Whipkey, whose husband Bill Whipkey worked at the Johnson Space Center. A scarce memento from the historic mission. Sold for $25,623.
Jack Swigert’s personally owned and worn Rolex, possibly given to him by Rolex’s CEO after Swigert’s return from the Apollo 13 mission. During that mission, in which Swigert famously told NASA, “Houston, we’ve had a problem”, Swigert used his Rolex (and his Omega Speedmaster, worn on his other wrist) to keep time in the Lunar Module, which was powered down so as to conserve energy following the aborted mission, thereby allowing the astronauts to return to Earth. Because the timing devices in the Module were not available to the men, Swigert was tasked with timing the engine burns that kept them on a trajectory to reenter Earth’s atmosphere.
Upon their successful return to Earth, Swigert gifted his Rolex to CEO Rene Jeanneret writing, “To my longtime friend Rene Jeanneret who enabled me to always be on time with sincere thanks Jack Swigert”. Upon receiving this gift, Jeanneret in turn gave Swigert a brand-new Rolex Mocha GMT Master; the watch presented here at auction for the first time is also a Rolex Mocha GMT Master. With serial number 1934406, manufactured in 1969, Rolex is an Oyster Perpetual Date Chronometer with the “root beer” style two-tone bezel, in 18kt yellow gold with a Jubilee bracelet and nipple dial. Light wear from use, watch is fully operational and in near fine, vintage condition. With an LOA from Jack Swigert’s sister, Virginia Swigert. Sold for $20,625.
